Will the supplicant be blessed with a more beautiful wife than his female colleagues at the university in the future if he lowers his gaze from them seeking Allah's pleasure?

Being infatuated with the beauty of women is a great temptation that leads to adultery and masturbation, so fear Allah and remember His saying: "And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an indecency and is evil as a way." (Quran 17:32). Lowering the gaze helps maintain chastity, and whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better. The beauty of a wife is not as important as her religiosity and character. Masturbation is a malicious and forbidden habit with detrimental effects.
