Qadian Derwaish Haji Manzoor Ahmad Waraich has died after a prolonged illness.
Waraich was 85 when he breathed his last in the city of Amritsar, about 65 kilometers southwest from Qadian, where he was admitted in a hospital.
Waraich came to Qadian as a teenage volunteer nearly seven decades ago at the call of the second Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Mirza Bashsir-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad, for the protections of Ahmadi families and the holy places of the community.
The volunteers who at the time of India-Pak partition in 1947 stayed back in Qadian at the directions of their spiritual leader - 313 in number - came to be revered as elders and they were affectionately called Darwaish, a tile that signified their sense of selflessness.
Haji Manzoor Ahmad Waraich Derwaish served the community for a long time as a construction mason in Sadr Anjuman Ahmadiyya, the Ahmadiyya administrative body, in Qadian.
He will be buried in the Bahishti Maqbra in Qadian.
