Continuing the answer to the previous question; which is a warning to focus on clarifying the correct creed.

The Shaykh : ... that people today are concerned with calling to formal matters, while the important matters, such as the creed and correcting worship, are very, very little attended to. In fact, I say it explicitly: no one attends to it except those who belong to the Salaf (the earliest generations). This is an example, and there are other parties that call for an Islamic coalition, but what is the character of this Islam? And what is the concept of this Islam in the minds of these coalition members who have gathered around Islam? Each one has his own opinion, whether in creed, jurisprudence, or conduct. So you find among them, for example, the Salafi (a follower of the Salaf), and you find among them the Khalafi (a follower of the later generations), and you find among them the Sufi, and you may even find among them the Shi'i. What are these? They call to Islam, but this is a mixed Islam, a hodgepodge of opinions and sayings, many of which Islam disavows, as it is said, "the disavowal of the wolf from the blood of the son of Baqiyah." Therefore, we do not advise anyone and tell him: do not call to the truth that you know. Rather, we say: improve the method of calling to this truth as much as you are able, and [Al-Baqarah 2:286]. So people today, as we see, are between two extremes, and the middle is few. There are people who do not call to Islam with the correct concept, but to a general Islam in which all sects share, despite the severe differences between them. And there are other people who call to understanding Islam with a correct understanding, but they may harm Islam in practice when they are bad in their manner. And the few in the middle between these and those are those who call to Islam with wisdom and good exhortation, and they argue with people in the best manner. And we ask Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to make us among those people.
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
