Acknowledgment
First and foremost, I am grateful to Allah Almighty that He has provided me with this
opportunity to seek knowledge and the potential to materialize my endeavors. Without His will, I
would not have been able to accomplish my goals and make the best use of His blessings. Then I
would like to thank Our Prophet Hazrat Muhammad صلى هللا عليه وسلمwho was a beacon of light,
knowledge and guidance for us all.
I feel obliged to my supervisor Dr. Irum Batool for galvanizing me and enabling me to permit
my best efforts. Her exemplary counsel capacitated and facilitated me in my task. I am also
thankful to my family for the unconditional support and faith in me.
