Nasir al-Mulk 'Pink Mosque'

The rarity of architecture like this makes Nasir al-Mulk all the more precious.

Though Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem and Istanbul's Blue Mosque both feature stained glass windows, on the whole they are fairly uncommon in mosque architecture.

The multitude of stained glass windows turn the inside of the mosque into a riotous wonderland of color that is absolutely breathtaking.

That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.

Rumi

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Rumi

It's also known as the "Pink Mosque" for the rose-colored tiles that cover the interior

Even if you are the world’s least religious person, you might feel your hands coming together in prayer naturally when you see the brilliance of this light. Perhaps the builders of this mosque wanted to show their “faith” through the morning light shining through this stained glass.

The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together.

Saadi

Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever.

Rumi

Rumi

Plant the love of the holy ones within your spirit; don't give your heart to anything, but the love of those whose hearts are glad.

Rumi

Oh Cup-bearer, set my glass afire with the light of wine!

Hafez

A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity 'til he has tasted adversity.

Saadi

When I die, I shall soar with angels, and when I die to the angels, what I shall become you cannot imagine.

Rumi

From the outside, the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran, seems like a fairly traditional house of worship -- but it's hiding a gorgeously colorful secret.
