Differences from Mafatih al-Janan

In Amoli's own words, Mafatih al-Janan focuses on how humans can pursue the right path in the light of God. By contrast, Mafatih al-Hayat discusses the ways man can interact and communicate with other creatures.

Summary

Mafatih al-Hayat is divided into five main parts and a sixth final part:

  • The first part is on the interaction of humans with themselves. The chapters in this section include: thinking, learning, keeping the body clean, eat, dress, adornment, accommodation, travel, sleep, leisure, sports and so on.
  • The second part, on interactions with others, has chapters on fellow Muslims, foreigners, the poor, enemies, citizens and so on.
  • The third part is on the interaction between people and the Islamic regime, discussing political, social, municipal and economic affairs.
  • The fourth part of Mafatih al-Hayat is on human interaction with animals and discusses taking care of animals, enjoying animals, animal rights, etc.
  • The fifth part is about human interaction with the environment, including environmental issues, soil, trees, green space, wind, rain, rivers, roads, fuel, tourism and so on.
  • The final part includes work on lunar months, traditions and so on.
