Steelcase, based in Grand Rapids, Mich., makes a 500-lb.-capacity office chair, Criterion Plus, that is 5 in. wider than the 18-in. standard and sells for $1,500.

These stories are often moving and for many Americans will be a revelation. It is right to be reminded of Islam's caring side and the extent to which it gives...
