The answer

Calling to Allah Almighty is general for all segments of society, including men, women, young men, and young women, following the example of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. However, it is permissible to allocate a specific group with more attention if circumstances necessitate it, such as enemies targeting them. The call should adhere to the methodology of Ahl al- wal-Jama’ah (People of the Sunnah and the Community) in belief and action, based on the Qur’an and Sunnah with the understanding of the righteous predecessors, while employing wisdom, good admonition, gentleness, and kindness. This is in accordance with His, the Almighty's, saying: "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best," and His, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Kindness is not found in anything but that it adorns it, and it is not removed from anything but that it shames it."
