How does God help a servant who desires chastity?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If chastity is understood as refraining from asking people for help, then "whoever seeks to be chaste, Allah will make him chaste" means that Allah will reward him by preserving his dignity, alleviating his poverty, and granting him contentment, thus filling his heart with richness. And if it is understood as chastity of the private parts, then "the one who marries seeking chastity" has a right that Allah will help him, because he suppresses an innate desire, and this is one of the difficult matters that requires Allah's help.
