''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' can be considered a persian summary of ''Jami' al-sa'adat'' in which the author has explained moral issues with an intellectual approach.

The major difference between ''Jami' al-sa'adat'' and ''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' is that its intellectual reasoning, argument, and approach are more evident. Also, ''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' has added to the traditional and directive aspects of discussions. Since ''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' is written for common people, the author has tried to present discussions using traditional evidence or a combination of reason and tradition, together with poems in a simple and attractive language, free from scientific complications. Thus, there are more verses and hadiths used in ''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' than ''Jami' al-sa'adat''. | The major difference between ''Jami' al-sa'adat'' and ''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' is that its intellectual reasoning, argument, and approach are more evident.<ref>Narāqī, ''Jāmiʿ al-saʿādāt'', vol. 1, p. 37-39.</ref> Also, ''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' has added to the traditional and directive aspects of discussions.<ref>Narāqī, ''Jāmiʿ al-saʿādāt'', vol. 1, p. 6, 26.</ref> Since ''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' is written for common people, the author has tried to present discussions using traditional evidence or a combination of reason and tradition, together with poems in a simple and attractive language, free from scientific complications.<ref>Narāqī, ''Jāmiʿ al-saʿādāt'', vol. 1, p. 8.</ref> Thus, there are more verses and hadiths used in ''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' than ''Jami' al-sa'adat''. | ||
Categorization and the order of chapters and titles of the books are also different in some ways; for example, the first part of ''[[Jami' al-sa'adat]]'' has 16 chapters, but the first part of ''Mi'raj al-sa'ada'' has 10 chapters, in three of which, the titles are common and in two of them, the content is common.
