The Shaykh spoke about the faith obligatory upon every person, and he spoke about some of the beliefs.

The Shaykh: That they correct their belief in Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). Every Muslim knows the fundamentals of faith: "I believe in Allah, His angels, and..." to the end, and in the divine decree, its good and its evil. But there is a general faith in these fundamentals, and this is the foundation for which no one is excused for being ignorant of it; the general faith in Allah, His angels, and so on. However, this general faith is not sufficient; it must be accompanied by the detailed faith that was explained in the Book of Allah and in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or his Sunnah, and according to the methodology of our righteous predecessors. I will now begin to explain the difference between the general faith, which is the foundation that is necessary for every Muslim, and then it must be accompanied by detail. Belief in Allah is the foundation of the beliefs mentioned after it. All people of the religions share in this general faith, and they differ from the atheists who do not believe except in nature. So the Jews believe in Allah, the Christians believe in Allah, the Sabians believe in Allah, the Buddhists and the Confucians, and so on, except for the atheists. Therefore, this general faith is not sufficient; it must be a clear, detailed faith, and as I said earlier, according to what came in the Book and the Sunnah. Now, let us give an example from our real life and from the ignorance of our partisan, clustered youth who are not guided by Allah. They all do not know that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) must also... this is also general speech; detail is necessary. It is necessary to believe in Allah as He described Himself in the Book and the Sunnah, as He described Himself in the Book and the Sunnah. He described Himself with transcendence and described Himself with the perfect attributes that befit Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The well-known verse is [Ash-Shuraa 42:11].
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ
