Can someone suggest books that cover life events of the Ahlul Bayt, similar to Qasasul Anbiya for the Prophets?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Biharul Anwar بحار الأنوار by Allama Majlisi is a very good book in this regard. Kitab Al-Irshad by Shaikh Al-Mufeed is available in English and online. There are many other books which can be found online as well.

It is said that Allah tests those whom He loves. If I am living a life of ease and comfort does that mean Allah does not like me even if I fulfill the obligations and remember Him constantly?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No believer lives with out been tested. Allah says in Quran : Did people think that they will be left with out tests? (Sura 29: 2).

Even being in easy life is a test by itself whether we thank Allah and appreciate His bounties or not.

When you feel that you have no difficulties, you need to thank Allah and seek from Him to protect you from unexpected hardships.

If a man is too poor to get married does he have to go his whole life without having any sexual relations?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Marriage in Islam does not require big amount of money. In fact it is recommended to keep the amount of Mahr (Dowry) affordable and not big amount.

Marriage in Islam can be a permanent marriage for those who can afford it and can be a temporary as well. In any case, Muslim must keep himself away from any sinful act whether he is married or not married. Those who want to get married to protect themselves from falling in sinful acts, will be helped by Allah as we read in many Quranic verses and authentic Hadeeths.

I have heard that, over time, hell will be emptied and people will be introduced to paradise. In this case, why should we worry about sins in this life if in the end our souls will still enter paradise?
Amina Inloes

When there is a possibility and a certainty, it is better to plan for the certainty.

The certainty is that hell exists. The possibility is that people might leave it.

Better to be careful! :)
