Kosovo captain Rrahmani capitalised on dreadful defending at a free-kick to poke home the winner and turn jeers into cheers at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Walter Mazzarri's side moved up to sixth in Italy's top flight after the win. The hosts came back from going behind in the 29th minute to a stunning Antonio Candreva strike.
Matteo Politano pulled Napoli level in first half stoppage time before Rrahmani brought the house down with his late winner.
