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.

You've come to know the fortunate and the inauspicious stars, but you don't know whether you yourself are fortunate or lucky.

Rumi

the truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth.

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.

Whatever makes an impression on the heart seems lovely in the eye.

Saadi

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

Rumi

A foreign tourist to Iran has made a harmony with Nasir ol Molk Mosque in Shiraz city

Send a bouquet of your face with the morning breeze.

Hafez

I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.

Hafez

Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.

Rumi

Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.

Hafez

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.

Rumi

The best time to visit is between 7:30-8:30. Most probably you will be the only visitor during these hours.

An enemy to whom you show kindness becomes your friend, excepting lust, the indulgence of which increases its enmity.

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.
