Allah created mankind for trial, and He made Paradise for those who obey Him and Hellfire for those who disobey Him. Among the trials of this world is "the trial of women." To avoid it, a Muslim must: believe in Allah and be conscious of His watchfulness, lower his gaze from forbidden things, repel evil thoughts, marry for whoever is able, fast for whoever is not able to marry, distance himself from bad company and places of temptation, utilize time in obedience to Allah, and remember the bliss of the Hereafter.
