Early Life
Munshi Habib Ur Rehman stayed at his father Hadhrat Sheikh Muhammad Abu Al-Quasim’s (Financial Collector of Merit UP British India) residence. But at the age of 6-7 he moved to Hadhrat Al-Hajj Muhammad Walli Ullah who was the elder brother of Hadhrat Sheikh Muhammad Abu Al-Quasim in Kapurthala Punjab British India as he adopted him because had no children of his own. Initially he was home-schooled and privately taught Mathematics, Urdu, Persian, Geography and English. However, as time progressed Hadhrat Al-Hajj Muhammad Walli Ullah decided to send him to school where he joined year 4 (at the age of 9). He was a very intelligent and bright student which reflected in his performance throughout all of his subjects. Particularly in English where he was taught by Mr Captain Pane he gained rewards for excellence in English language skills and translation skills. It is remarkable that at this age not only was he able to speak fluently in English but also had the ability to write formal letters in English. It is said that his way of approaching complex problems was unusual as he tried to simplify the problem by designing related questions on a smaller scale and then using the solutions to solve the challenging questions. Furthermore, his father Al-Hajj Muhammad Walli Ullah trained him and passed on his knowledge and experiences in all possible ways to overcome the difficult challenges of life. When Munshi Habib ur Rehman completed his education his father asked him to join Collector training. After completing this training he got offered a job by the Government as a Tehsildar, however he rejected the offer as he did not wanted to work in an atmosphere where he had to lie and experience injustice.

This paper was read out by Maulawi‘Abdul Karim Sialkoti [of Sialkot] in the main mosque in Qadian after Zuhr prayer on 27 December 1891, in front of a large crowd. At the end suggestions were sought as to	which persons should be appointed members of the Board, and how the proceedings should commence. Members of the audience—whose names are listed below, and who had come purposely to consider and advise upon the proposal—unanimously resolved that the paper ought to be published immediately. Later, after ascertaining the intentions of the opponents, Board members should be appointed by the consent of both the parties, after which the proceedings can commence.

Hazoor (as) and destructive Plague
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is said to have made numerous prophecies concerning the plague in the Punjab and issued multiple warnings against it. This plague was an occurrence of special significance within Ahmadiyya as it is believed to have been mentioned by earlier religious scriptures as one of the signs of the promised Messiah.

In his book Siraj-e-Munir Ghulam Ahmad recalls a revelation which he claimed to have received:

O Messiah of mankind. Rid us of our pestilences.

Commenting upon this he wrote:

Wait and see how and when these warnings fulfil themselves. There are times when prayer brings death. Another time comes when prayer will bring life.

He further issued an announcement:

I know that those devoid of spiritual feelings will tend to ridicule my statement. Nevertheless, out of sympathy for them, it is my duty to warn people. The warning is this. Today, February 6, 1898, Monday, I saw in a dream that angels of God were planting black trees in different parts of the Punjab. Those trees were black, ugly, terrifying and of small size. I asked some of those who were planting them: What kind of trees are these? They answered: These are trees of the plague which is about to spread in the country. I am not quite sure whether it was said that the plague would spread during the next winter or the winter after, but it was a terrible sight which I saw. I am reminded also of a revelation of mine about the plague. It said, 'Verily Allah does not change the lot of a people unless they first change their hearts.' It seems that the plague will not disappear unless extreme sin and transgression disappear first.

By this time the plague had not spread. Though some research was carried out in Bombay. Subsequently the plague spread throughout the whole of the Punjab, increasing in severity each year. Various kinds of treatments were tried by the British officials but to no avail. Eventually, Ghulam Ahmad claimed that he had been told in a dream that the Plague has gone but the fever remains after which, as is claimed by the Ahmadis, the plague began to decline steadily, having raged for nine years.
