Is it obligatory for every Muslim to learn and know all of Allah's names and attributes and their meanings, especially if he is ignorant and cannot read or write?

The questioner : He asks: Is it obligatory for every Muslim to learn and know all of Allah's names and attributes and their meanings, especially if he is ignorant and cannot read or write?The Shaykh : Yes, it is obligatory to know Allah (Mighty and Majestic) as He has described Himself, but not in the manner that every scholar must know Him. Rather, one should take the summary, meaning, one should take the creed that is practiced. What did Allah say regarding this old dispute between the Salafis and the Khalafis: Is Allah above or below? No, Allah is above. This is what every Muslim should know. Allah said in the Qur'an that He comes down. He said that, and remove from yourself the likening of Allah to creation that these claimants of knowledge instill in you. It is further away from purifying Allah's majesty by hearing the previous verse , and Surat al-Ikhlas: "The Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten nor been begotten, and there is none comparable to Him." So when it is said to the common Muslim, this verse must be passed over without understanding the meaning of the word "comparable," he must understand that He has no counterpart, no likeness, and no equal. This is the meaning of the verse. As for delving into the meanings of the researches that are in reality most like the science of theology (kalam), this is not for the common person or any Muslim as an obligation. But before all else, he must devote himself to believing in what came in the Book of Allah and what came in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then, after that, he takes a second step: that he believes that whenever he reads a verse and its meaning is difficult for him to understand, he should ask the people of knowledge, as Allah the Exalted said: . And he should not ask from the people of knowledge except as indicated in the same verse, that they be from the people of remembrance. The people of remembrance are the people of the Qur'an, not the people of remembrance who dance in dhikr. The people of remembrance are the people of the Qur'an, and the people of the Qur'an are none but those who call all Muslims, when they differ in something, to return to the Book of Allah and to the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and to the methodology of the righteous Salaf.
