In convex quadrilateral $ ABCD$, $ AB = BC$ and $ AD = DC$. Point $ E$ lies on segment $ AB$ and point $ F$ lies on segment $ AD$ such that $ B$, $ E$, $ F$, $ D$ lie on a circle. Point $ P$ is such that triangles $ DPE$ and $ ADC$ are similar and the corresponding vertices are in the same orientation (clockwise or counterclockwise). Point $ Q$ is such that triangles $ BQF$ and $ ABC$ are similar and the corresponding vertices are in the same orientation. Prove that points $ A$, $ P$, $ Q$ are collinear.
