Just as the compassionate shepherd wards his flock away from pastures of destruction.
الْهَلَكَةِ — of destruction. This definite noun is the owning half of the 'pastures of destruction' pairing, making the whole phrase specific. As the second noun in such a pairing it sits in the governed form. Arabic builds 'pastures of X' by setting the two nouns directly together, with no separate 'of'.
