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.

If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.

Rumi

This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.

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.

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.

Rumi

The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.

Rumi

Saadi

Don't be surprised at Fortune's turns and twists: That wheel has spun a thousand yarns before.

Hafez

Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what's hidden.

Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

Rumi

Send a bouquet of your face with the morning breeze.

Hafez

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.
