Who entered Islam before it was explained to him

Question:
He says: If a person is brought into Islam before Islam is explained to him, and then he leaves Islam, is he considered an apostate?
Answer:
My brother, it is inconceivable that anyone would be forced into Islam.[Al-Baqarah 2:256]. No one compels another to become a Muslim. Because Islam is a belief of the heart, and no one can manipulate hearts except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He the Exalted said: [Al-Qasas 28:56]. So it is impossible for anyone to enter Islam without his own choice, ever. It is he who enters by his own choice. But he may enter sincerely and become a believer with valid faith, or he may enter for one of the purposes and become a hypocrite.

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion
لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِIndeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ
