In Memoriam

My father Abdallah While I still needed his wisdom, guidance, and inspiration, he unexpectedly left our world to meet his Creator since that sorrowful sunset of February 6th 2014. To him I dedicate this book as a fruit of the continuous effort, sacrifice, patience, and altruism he taught me. May he eternally rest in peace within the paradise of our Lord, the Almighty. Said
