He has this question, Shaykh Salih, in which he asks: Is the knowledge of there is no god but Allah innate or acquired?

The knowledge of there is no god but Allah is acquired through learning. One must learn[Muhammad 47:19]. Therefore, one must learn the meaning of "there is no god but Allah" and its implications. Its meaning is that there is no deity worthy of worship in truth except Allah. And its implication is that one must purify worship for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
