Advice for one who wants to marry but is not able to [do] it

Question: I am a youth in the second year of college, and i try according to the ability to preserve the obligatory [duties] and what the religion orders with. But i have a problem and it is that i am not able to [get] marry. Looking to the materialistic situations in this time, i am afraid i might fall in what Allah made Haram. So, is there from the advices and guidelines special for the youths like me?

Answer: I advice you and your brothers from the youths with what the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, "O party of young men! Whoever among you has the ability to get married, then let him marry for surely it will be a means of lowering the gaze and protecting the private parts. And wheover is not able to do it, then take to fasting, for indeed for him it is a protection. " [Agreed upon its authencity]

Upon you o my brother (is to) fear Allah, and to hold fast to His religion and the increase of the fasting until He [Allah] makes it easy for you to marry. And ask your Rabb [Lord] for the well being and steadfastness upon the truth and I promise you with the good and praiseworthy well being as Allah subhanahu said, "And whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine." [65:2-3]

May Allah make easy your affair and affair of every Muslim, Indeed He is all Hearing, Very Near.
