Shaykh Sa'eed Foudah writes in his treatise النقد و التقويم لمنتقد عقائد الماتريدية (p.21):
"Let it be known that none of the esteemed scholars obligate the general masses to know Allah by the method of the Kalam scholars. Their writings on this topic are widespread and very clear. Rather, what's compulsory upon the laity is to know Allah, but not per se through any specific proof - just that the proof be sound, be it general. Take the saying of the Bedouin: "Droppings signify a camel. Traces of travel signify a journey. Don't the heaven and earth contain constellations and pathways? How does that not denote upon the Subtle One and All-Aware?"
The scholars have explicitly mentioned in their books that general argumentation like this suffices in this matter. Likewise in the other issues of 'Ilm al-Tawheed.
