How does charity increase wealth?
Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn (said:
If someone were to ask: how does Allāh increase the wealth of the one who spends, when we can plainly see that spending reduces wealth? If a person spends ten dirhams, it becomes nine - so where is the increase?
The answer: As for the increase of reward in the Hereafter, that is clear and apparent. A single good deed is multiplied tenfold, up to seven hundred times and more. Whoever gives in charity even a date from lawful earnings - and Allāh accepts nothing but what is good and pure , Allāh nurtures it until it becomes like a mountain.
As for tangible, worldly increase, that comes through several avenues:
The first: Allāh may open for the person a door of provision that never occurred to them, and so their wealth increases.
The second: This wealth may be protected by Allāh from calamities that would otherwise have afflicted it had it not been for the charity. This is something observable. Spending in charity shields wealth from harm.
The third: The blessing (barakah) in spending, a person spends little yet its fruits exceed much. And when blessing is stripped from spending, a person may spend a great deal on things that neither benefit nor harm them. This too is something observable.
Ref: Tafsīr al-Baqarah, 3/349
I learned this fact on Clubhouse back in 202I. Excessive (borderline obsessive) hatred of Arabs usually stems from weakness in iman
not saying loving Arabs is a religious obligation. However, harboring hatred towards Muslims because of prejudice or preconceived notions is haram

And You Wonder Why You Have Doubts?
Many people today, especially on social media, occupy themselves with debates. Do not gamble with your religion by exposing your heart to doubts and misconceptions. Islam and its sciences are not a form of entertainment.
Some people dedicate hours to watching debates or engaging in endless arguments online. Instead, call to Islam through the methods established by the righteous predecessors. Engage in beneficial discussion and sincere dialogue, not argumentative debates and mockery.
ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz رحمه الله said:
“Whoever makes his religion a subject of constant debate will often change in his religion.”
As-Samt — Ibn Abī ad-Dunyā (no. 161)
On one occasion, I was with Shaykh Mustafa Mabram حفظه الله when some students requested that he teach them Kashf ash-Shubuhāt (The Removal of Doubts) by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhāb رحمه الله. The Shaykh replied, “I will not teach you this until you have studied Kitāb at-Tawḥīd.”
