1. It shows the importance of time
and fate in man’s life. Nothing
(death, life, happiness, sorrow,

ets) can happen before or after
its destined time. We should
enjoy our life to its fullest by
making suitable use of time

Moreover man should be humble

before God’s will. Everything has
been predetermined.
