| I
can never, adequately and properly, submit my thankful praises
to the Ever All-Gracious, the Ever All-Merciful Allah for
providing me Guidance, resources and all the help to accomplish
this task, for which I could never imagine, plan and organize.
I pray for Allah’s unlimited Mercy and Forgiveness
for all my sins, follies, lapses and mistakes here and everywhere
in my life. He may in His Bounteous and Gracious Mercy accept
it as the means of salvation for me, my parents, wife, children,
family, friends, well wishers and all those who read and advance
the spirit of this humble submission.
This is not a one man’s job. By the Grace
of Allah, my grand mother, Saroop (may Allah bless her soul
in peace), used to guide me to put my conduct on the right
track. My loving mother, Hoor Khatoon, keeps on praying for
me, as ever. My father, Shafi Muhammad Shaikh, used to advise
me, till his death (may Allah bless his soul in peace) to
recite the Holy Quran every day, without fail. My wife, Sakina,
provided all peace of mind and comfort for easy accomplishment
of this task. My dear daughter Saroop Gul, caring sons Sarwan
Gul and Mehran Gul, provided all technical assistance, in
my working, for the first time in my life, on computer and
information technology. They advised, guided and helped enthusiastically.
I am particularly thankful to Professor Muhammad
Yusuf Shaikh, Principal, Cadet College Larkana for encouraging
me and for providing me all the support for all processes
involved in the arrangement, proof reading, printing, publishing,
etc, etc., of this book.
I have special thanks and appreciation for Hafiz
Abdul Wahid, Lecturer, Islamic Studies, Government College
of Commerce, Rawalpindi, who helped in searching different
verses on various subjects. Mr Gul Zaman, Senior Auditor,
Office of the Auditor General of Pakistan, Islamabad assisted
with all devotion in the arrangement of contents, bibliography,
index, glossary and overall setup of the book.
