Among the religious traditions of humanity the Imami Shi'ah tradition within Islam is unmatched in its rich corpus of devotional texts (<i>du'a</i> and <i>ziyarah</i> literature) handed down from the original leaders of the faith, the Prophet Muhammad and the Imams of his family, the <i>Ahl al-Bayt</i>.The <b><i>Mafatih al-Jinan</i></b> is the most popular manual of Islamic devotional observances and prayer-texts by <b>Shaykh Abbas Qummi</b>, which draws its contents from well-known, reliable sources. As a manual of devotional literature, the <i>Mafatih al-Jinan</i> follows a long tradition established by the <i>Misbah al-Mutahajjid</i> of Shaykh Tusi (d. 460/1067) and followed up in the works of Sayyid Ibn Tawus (d. 664/1265), Kaf'ami (d. 905/1499) and others. Most of the contents of the <i>Mafatih</i> are drawn from these earlier works. Since its publication, the <i>Mafatih</i> has enjoyed an uncontested popularity among Farsi-speaking Muslims, and its Arabic and Urdu versions are widely used by the devout in the Arab world and the Indian subcontinent.
