 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First of all, I am thankful to Allah Almighty, the most merciful and beneficent; who gave
strength, ability and opportunity to seek knowledge, and His blessings enabled me to
achieve my goals. I am grateful to Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon
Him) who is forever a true torch of guidance for whole humanity and who showed right
direction to humanity and enabled us to recognize our creator. A thesis is the result of
many people’s effort that doesn’t come in limelight but they play a pivotal role. As such it
would be unjust of me if I do not express my gratitude to those whose help has been
invaluable in the fulfillment of this task.

I am thankful to my supervisor Mrs. Maqzia Hafeez Alvi for her supervision, advice,
guidance and constant encouragement. At times when I could not motivate myself he
encouraged me and renewed my hope. I am also thankful to Dr. Riffat Naseem Malik
HOD in Quaid e Azam University, Dr. Ishaq Ahmed lecturer in Comsat institute of
information technology and my respected teacher Sadaqat Khan principal of The
Learner School Mithial, for their assistance and guidance. My special thanks to my
parents, brother, sisters and my lovely wife Sehrish Ijaz for their mental support and
encouragement.
