Summary/Abstract: This article is composed of two parts. In the first part we examine sufi’s understandings. In the second chapter, the contexs of Allah’s rights, which is the subject of the book named “er-Riâye li Hukukillah” by Muhasibi are dealt with. To describe Allah’s rights, Muhasibi addresses the responsibilities of Allah’s slave. According to him knowing of Allah is connected with well knowing of these rights. Understanding of Allah is related with knowing human his self. According to this approach understanding of Allah begins with understanding of human regarding his responsibilities and his failures. The starting point of understanding Allah is to fulfill his responsibilities towards Allah.
