So if you said: it is now said that they have become aware of the male from the female in the womb; is this true?

We say: that this matter has occurred, and cannot be denied; but they do not know that except after the formation of the fetus and the appearance of its male or female, and for the fetus there are other circumstances that they do not know; so they do not know when it is born, nor do they know if it is born how long it remains alive, nor do they know if it will be miserable or happy, nor do they know if it will be rich or poor. To other unknown aspects of it.

The fourth is the knowledge of what is in the tomorrow; referring to the saying: (And what does one know what a soul will earn tomorrow; and this is a key to earning in the future, and if the human does not know what he earns for himself; then the lack of his knowledge of what others earn is more pronounced.
