In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious

Dedication

To

My mother, Momtaz Begum

and

my father, Lt. Col. (Rtd.) Mohammad Shamsuzzoha

You sent me into this world

and through whom

I gained some understanding about Your abounding love and mercy.

Please embrace them, me, my dear ones as well as other

with Your boundless mercy, grace and forgiveness.
