ACKNOWLEGDGEMENTS

At the outset, I express our deepest thanks to our Lord, the most Gracious,
the most merciful, the cherisher and sustainer of the worlds.

We are thankful to our parents who continuously look after us right from
Our birth, provided us with the best facilities that they could provide us and
continuously encouraged us to perform well in our studies and our daily life in
general.

All these factors were the favorable conditions that made us to strive
for the better future life. May the almighty forgive us, our parents and all the
believers on the Day of Reckoning
