Greater Fitna: Women or Wealth?

 

زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱلْقَنَـٰطِيرِ ٱلْمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلْخَيْلِ ٱلْمُسَوَّمَةِ وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ وَٱلْحَرْثِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسْنُ ٱلْمَـَٔابِ ١٤

The enjoyment of ˹worldly˺ desires—women, children,¹ treasures of gold and silver, fine horses, cattle, and fertile land—has been made appealing to people. These are the pleasures of this worldly life, but with Allah is the finest destination.

[Quran 3:14]

Disclaimer: This is my own interpretation of Surah Al Imran Verse 14. Don't take these as factual statements, only Allah knows the meaning behind the order of His words!

Since Allah mentioned women first in terms of the worldly desires, I guess it is the biggest trial for our Ummah

Especially now, the rise of delayed marriages causes Zina, glazing at non-mahram, breakdown of society, hyper-sexualization, due to the 'cultural' Islam that has been propagated: finish your Bachelor's Degree, get a stable job, buy a house, after all these processes, you get to marry by a feeble age 30. That's if Allah allows you to live to that age. That's clearly against the nature of basic human needs; fitrah of humans that Allah has ordained for us.

“The best people of my Umma are those who get married and have chosen their wives and the worst people of my nation are those who have kept away from marriage and are passing their lives as bachelors.” 

(Mustadrakul Wasail by Muhaddith Noori, Vol 2, Pg 531).
In this modern day and age, it eliminates and extinguishes these immoral diseases of the youth:

• It protects you from Dating
• It protects you from committing self-pleasure
• It creates a family
• When a man marries a wife, he completes half his deen (the other half will never be able to be completed in this life)
• When a man has a daughter, she opens a gate from Jannah for him

So marrying is 100% recommended, but it is not obligatory, as far as I've heard.

What is your opinion? Or, is wealth a bigger Fitna for the Ummah? I would still beg to differ, due to this hadith:

Usamah ibn Zayd reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I have not left a trial after me more harmful to men than women.”
