Does obeying God's commands in all aspects of life guarantee a person freedom from diseases, poverty, and terrifying problems? And is not marrying, in order to avoid responsibility for a family and children, a correct action to lighten life's burdens?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Obeying Allah brings good and repels evil. However, trials may afflict the pious to elevate their ranks or expiate their sins, as happened to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). The believing, pious person endures trials with patience and accepts Allah's decree, for affliction is by Allah's permission, and belief in it guides the heart. Marriage is among the traditions of the Messengers and carries immense reward. Raising righteous children is an act of closeness to Allah and benefits the servant. A spouse and children are a support in enduring the hardships of this world.
