Am I condemned to hellfire, if I never marry (which is probably going to be the case)? Even if I pray and give charity and do other good deeds, and stay away from haram things during my entire life?
you live without marriage inshaAllah - but the very second you get tempted into zina - zina being even staring at a brother-sister/speaking to him-her in soft ways etc - you will give up the idea of never marrying.
sound good?

My tears testify that i have a heart
yet i feel me and shaytan never part

Zina refers to unlawful sexual intercourse. It can also be used to refer to other sexual improprieties--such as looking at someone other than one's spouse with desire, which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) referred to as the "zina of the eyes."

even at this moment, my eyebrows are slightly perched - THAT serious !
Well, I agree with you but that's not exactly an answer to my question. Let's wait and see what others have to say. I will ignore the other guy and people like him/her. Please do not answer if you can't answer in a serious and respectable manner.
It is narrated by Anas that the Messenger of Allah said: "When a man marries, he has fulfilled half of his religion, so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half."
Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.
Thank you Ali. I don't want to talk about my life here and why I may decide not to marry, but there are reasons. Being a good Muslim is my only goal in life, so I was afraid that all my good deeds would be in vain, if I didn't marry.
the prophet (saw) said, 'He who does not get married is not of my ummah' or something on those lines...im just fishing up the exact wording and reference insha'Allah...
Oh Mankind! What keeps you from your Lord most Generous?
There is no Hand but the Hand of Allah is over it, and
There is no Opressor but he is tried with a Greater Opression.
Nobody knows that. I hope nobody's been telling you that you're off to hell because the truth is only Allah [swt] knows.

While I was with Abdullah, 'Uthman met him at Mina and said, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman ! I have something to say to you." So both of them went aside and 'Uthman said, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rah. man! Shall we marry you to a virgin who will make you remember your past days?" When 'Abdullah felt that he was not in need of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying, "O 'Alqama!" Then I heard him saying (in reply to 'Uthman), "As you have said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet once said to us, 'O young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.
We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah's Apostle said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 27:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A woman is married for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a losers.
The above are compiled by Imam Bukhari
The Holy Qur'an reads: (And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.[30:21].
