Causes of the Weakness of Response to the Call and the Proliferation of Groups

Question:
The call is widespread, but the response is few. Is this due to some righteous deeds, or is it due to desires, misguidance, and things that divert from the truth? Even though the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) had many deeds and few words, yet the response was great.

Answer:
The brother asks, saying: The groups for da'wah (calling others to Islam) have multiplied now, and the callers to Allah have increased, but the response is few. What is the secret of that? We say, and Allah knows best: We do not encourage the multiplication of groups. We want one sincere group that calls to Allah, and that is sufficient. As for the multiplication of groups and the multiplication of methodologies, this is what causes failure and discord. Allah the Exalted says: and do not be like those who became divided and differed . We do not encourage the multiplication of groups. We want one group that is upon the correct methodology and the correct da'wah, even if it is scattered in different countries, its reference is one, and they refer to one another and derive from one another. This is what is required.
As for the multiplication of groups, its effect is nothing but disagreement and evil. Second, there is no doubt that the sincerity of the caller has an effect on the one being called. If the caller is sincere in his intention and calls upon the correct methodology, with insight and correct knowledge of what he is calling to, then this will have an effect on those being called. But if he is not sincere in his call, and rather calls to himself, or to a party, or to a group, or to tribalism, even if he claims Islam, then this does not benefit anything, and it is not of the call of Islam in anything. Likewise, if he calls people to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, but he does not act upon what he calls to, then this also is what repels people from him. And Allah the Exalted knows what is in the hearts, and knows what a person does in any place. If he openly defies Allah by contradicting Him when alone, and appears to people calling them to good while he is the opposite, this does not affect anything and is not accepted from him, because Allah has not placed a blessing in his call. Yes. What?
The methodologies of the call are based on what is established by the Book and the Sunnah and the biography of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So we do not innovate anything from our own selves. The means exist in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. If we innovate, we will be lost. Whoever innovates in our matter what is not from it, it is rejected.
