Abstract :Turning towards Allah plays a primary role in the servant\'s recognition of Allah and fulfilling his duties to Him. In this respect, there are different ways of turning towards Allah. One of these is morality. According to Ibn Qayyim, the basis and center of moral education and training in Islam is the Qur\'an and the Sunnah. The aim of this study is to reveal Ibn al-Qayyim\'s construction of morality by using sūfī elements in turning towards Allah. Even though he is not a Sufi, he puts forward serious views on Sufism issues. In this respect, he always mentions husn al-khuluq (good moral) as a condition for turning to Allah. This study aims to present the good moral values that Ibn Qayyim considers essential to turning to Allah and the conditions necessary to perform good morals.
