Litmus Test: Take this test to know
whether you are entitled for Paradise.

promise from your Sustainer Lord, and towards the Paradise.

Skies and the Earth.

eligible-entitled-enlisted to take part in the "marathon" towards the
destination/appointed goal.
The direction of
achievement is seeking protection, forgiveness and the Paradise. The
most crucial information about the Paradise is given in this disclosure:
