Mafātīḥ al-Ḥayāt (The Keys to Life), by Āyatullāh ʿAbdullāh Jawādī Āmulī, is a seminal work that complements Shaykh ʿAbbās Qummī’s Mafātīḥ al-Jinān. While Mafātīḥ al-Jinān focuses on worship, supplication, and the soul’s connection with God, Mafātīḥ al-Ḥayāt turns to the broader tapestry of human life—outlining how divine guidance shapes our relationship with ourselves, with other people, with the governing order, with the animal world, and with the environment. Drawing on the Noble Qurʾān, authentic ḥadīth, and reason, the author presents a comprehensive ethical and practical program for living a God-centered life in all dimensions.

The work moves from exploring the refinement of the self—through reflection, the pursuit of knowledge, self-discipline, health, and inner virtue—to the ethics of social bonds, including the responsibilities of kinship, marriage, and community life. It then examines civic and political engagement, emphasizing justice, the rights and duties of rulers and citizens, and economic fairness. The guidance extends to compassionate conduct toward animals and to environmental care, urging the preservation of nature’s balance and beauty. The concluding section reflects on time, tradition, and the spiritual principles that give coherence and meaning to a believer’s life.

Mafātīḥ al-Ḥayāt blends moral instruction, social guidance, and spiritual insight into a unified vision, showing that servitude to God is inseparable from justice, compassion, and responsibility in worldly affairs. It is at once a manual of personal growth, a guide to harmonious social living, and a call to stewardship of the world—offering readers a path toward both worldly wellbeing and eternal success.
