Acknowledgments
I am greatly indebted to a number of special individuals who have guided me and helped me write and publish this book. My source of inspiration is my dear and loving husband, friend, and companion Muhammad, to whom I owe my eternal gratitude. Muhammad has stood by me and has always believed in me. I thank my three dear children, Noor, Yousef, and Sara for their unconditional love and their joyful laughter.
I wish to thank Dr. Ron Emerick for his insight, guidance, and support during my study at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I also wish to thank Dr. Karen Dandurand and Dr. Malcolm Hayward for their insightful remarks and advice.
The completion of this book was dependent upon the support of a network of family members and close friends. Special thanks to my father, mother, brother, and sister for their prayers and encouragement.
