The questioner : There is a verse in it: [Al-Kahf 18:24] If a person forgets and then remembers Allah, is it possible that this could be “La ilaha illa Allah” (There is no god but Allah), or is it possible that it could be “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the Greatest)? Is there a specific designation in this verse?
The Shaykh : No, there is no specific designation.
