I'm here on behalf of my university's Islamic society in Ireland. We're having arguments about our proposed events. We're proposing to do a charity event, collaborating with other religious societies such as Christian Society, Jews Society as well as Atheist Society. Our aim is to promote Islam as a peaceful and tolerant religion. However, some of our committee members disagree with the idea of collaborating with the Atheist Society because they deny the existence of God and that Muslims shall not collaborate with Atheists at all. What is your opinion about this?

If it is fundamentally a charitable event, you can cooperate and use the event as an avenue to clarify misconceptions about Islam. Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) stated that if a charitable gathering of Makkan pagans called Hilf al Fudool, which he attended prior to Islam, were held after he became a prophet, he would attend it. That is clear proof of the validity of your participation.
