Some young people, when called, say: I believe in Allah, but what about these scattered calls?

The questioner: Oh teacher, with this we complete the topic perfectly.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: We find that some young Muslims, when we call them, or those who are hesitant... say: I believe in Allah, I believe in Allah, but what about these scattered calls? Another person, an atheist, says: As long as there are scattered calls to Islam, it is not correct. On the other hand... the authentic hadiths and their presentation, of course, al-Bukhari (may Allah be pleased with him) compiled his book, but from the new compilation of books of authentic hadiths and publications... in the hadiths that some people follow, it indicates that he is walking on the path of truth. These two questions... .
The Shaykh: By Allah, regarding the first question, I believe the answer was implicitly given in my initial remarks when I began answering by reciting the previous verse:[Hud 11:118], so I said that Muslims or Islamic callers must direct their efforts toward reconciling individuals or groups who believe in one principle, who believe in the Book and the Sunnah. As for the single group, we are now in a state where we have enough and are self-sufficient regarding dealing with people who do not believe in the Shari'ah, in Islam, in Allah the Creator of the entire universe. I do not mean by this that if an atheist comes to us, we do not discuss with him, but our concern should not be directed toward him. An atheist may present himself to us, as Shaykh Husayn mentioned earlier in the car, and we discuss with him, but our concern must be directed toward those who are closest to us in thought and creed.
The questioner: But this creates doubt; he is misguided and misguides others. He casts doubt on these calls, due to the multitude of calls or the multitude of Islamic principles... of the Islamic callers. He doubts that this is a valid school of thought.
The Shaykh: Teacher, we are unable to act.
Another questioner: Is there any call that does not have disagreement?
The Shaykh: Yes, we are unable to silence every person, no matter how deeply rooted he is in falsehood; because our efforts are limited, human capacity is limited. Which direction do we direct this capacity? This is apart from the fact that he casts doubt.
Another questioner: Even atheism has disagreement within it.
The Shaykh : ... .
Another questioner: Atheists differ from one another.
The Shaykh: Yes.

And if your Lord had willed, He could have made mankind one community
