Ğulām Husayn Hān Tabātabā'ī Hasanī, author and historian, spent most of his life in the midst of the political vicissitudes during the waning days of the Mughal Empire, in particular those events related to the area of what is today the district of West Bengal, India. By profession he was a munshi (secretary) with a praiseworthy ability in letter writing, but it was politics that seemed to lead his traveling from place to place and his continuous switching of patrons and supporters He appears to have had a great talent for “create connections with contemporary men of position” and politicking. Ğulām Husayn Hān composed several works across a wide range of genres. Among his works are: “a masnavi on the lives of his ancestors…a theological work on the prerogatives of Ali and his descendants…a tafsir (exegesis) on the Kuran…a commentary on Rumi…a divan of poems…and other theological works”.

The movement was launched by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in 1889 in the town of Qadian, in the Punjab, when that was still part of India.
Ghulam Ahmad's mastery of Arabic, the language in which he wrote his revelations, lent him the appearance of legitimacy in the eyes of his followers, but orthodox Muslims counter [153/154] this by pointing out that such use of Arabic itself is a rebuttal of Ahmad's pretensions.
When Ghulam Ahmad died in 1908, a disciple was elected his khalifa (deputy) in the same way as Abu Bakr succeeded the Prophet as his khalifa.
