Elias Howe (1819-1867) was born in Massachusetts. He is known for his contribution in the making of the sewing machine. The main breakthrough was the development of a lock-stitch by a shuttle carrying a lower thread and a needle carrying an upper thread, which passes through a hole, situated at the tip of the needle.

Paradise is the supreme reward

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian | June 19, 2016, p. 12

What is Paradise? Paradise is the supreme reward, which God gives to His special servants for their deserving actions. Paradise is a world of unique blessings, admission to which is reserved for the chosen few in the second stage of life, the Hereafter.

These special people are those who have demonstrated in ample measure their ability to live on the plane of realities in this present stage of life – the stage of trial. They are the ones who have discovered God’s existence from His signs.
