It would be impossible (a) –– us to continue living in this world if each of us knew exactly what fate had (b) –– store for us. So, Allah in His mercy conceals the future (c) –– all His creatures, and reveals only the present. He hides from the animals what men know, and so He hides from men what the angels know. For example, if a lamb had reason (d) –– a man, it could not gamble happily knowing it was destined to be killed (e) –– human food. But being quite ignorant (f) –– its fate, it is happy to the last moment of its short life contentedly grazing (g) –– the flowery meadow, and even in its innocence licks the hands (h) –– the butcher who is about to slaughter it. What a blessing it is that we are ignorant (i) –– the future! Allah, to whom the death of a sparrow is of equal importance with death of a hero, has, in His mercy, thus limited our knowledge so that we might fulfill our duty in the sphere (j) –– which He has appointed us.
