The Ruling on Proving the Existence of Allah by Reason and Fitrah Alone

Question:
Peace be upon you. The Shaykh’s point is that you are a point between the left and the right, called where He wills, regarding a child who grew up on an island where no one was present, and he discovered by his intellect that Allah is his Lord, and that He is the One, the Unique, and that He is the One, the Unique, so he decided in it that Allah is proven by the intellect, and that the messengers are merely a means of reducing that and moving it, so is this within the limits of the intellect?

Answer:
There is no doubt that the sound fitrah (innate natural disposition) points to the Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, but if the fitrah changes, it becomes corrupt due to bad covering, bad company, and bad association. However, the fitrah does not stand alone, it does not stand alone, the sending of messengers and the revelation of books is necessary in order to complete the fitrah, to perfect the fitrah, and to guide the fitrah. So there is no doubt that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is proven by the fitrah, by the intellects, and by the revelation; there are many proofs of the Lord of the Worlds, Glorified and Exalted is He. But the fitrah does not stand alone, and the intellect does not stand alone, and they are not sufficient; the revelation of books and the sending of messengers is necessary. For this reason, He, Mighty and Majestic, said: They did not restrict creation to their fitrah and their intellects, because He knows, Glorified is He, that these fitrahs and these intellects, even though they know the Lord, Glorified is He, do not stand alone in that and do not grasp all matters.
So even if they grasp it in general, do they grasp it in detail? This writing has some validity, but the exaggeration in sanctifying the intellect, that is what is forbidden.
