%X In this study, Q¨¡£¿¨© Abd al-J¨¡bb¨¡r¡¯s views on knowing Allah (ma¡®rifatullah) and following issues have been analysed. In this context, either the divine message has reached to a person or not, it is examined whether ma¡®rifatullah is obligatory (wajib) upon him. Subsequently, it is discussed whether this obligation is ensured by reasoning (¡®aql) or revelation (naql). Furthermore, while keeping in mind the role of intellect (nazar) and argumentation (istidl¨¡l), we have established and evaluated religious state and source of nazar and istidl¨¡l. Also, we discussed to what extend God can be the subject of knowledge and from which aspects He can be known. Besides, we discussed whether ma¡®rifatullah is an obligation and if not what its justification is. In addition, we examined whether imitative knowledge (taql¨©d) is possible in the case of ma¡®rifatullah or not and whether it¡¯s sufficient to know God just by taql¨©d without the reasoning at all. Finally, Q¨¡£¿¨© Abd al-J¨¡bb¨¡r¡¯s opinions on the religious situation of people to whom the divine revelation did not reach at all and so they lack of knowledge on God
