Muhasibis’s Moral System

Abstract

Harith B. Asad Al-Muhasibi (165-243) has long been recognized by Islamic scholars as the real master of the first period of Islamic mysticism. Considering his ethical views in his works, Muhasibi, can be certainly mentioned as a moral philosopher. Al-Muhasibi’s most important work, Riaya lihuquq Alla, is perhaps the finest manual for the spiritual life which Islam has generated. This paper presents Muhasibi’s moral system based on his views
