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.

I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.

Rumi

I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: 'You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.'

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.

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

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

Hafez

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

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

Rumi

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Rumi

However much I might try to expound or explain Love, when I come to Love itself, I am ashamed of my explanations... Love alone can explain the mysteries of love and lovers.

Rumi

Love will find its way through all languages on its own.

Rumi

I have seen the king with a face of Glory, He who is the eye and the sun of heaven, He who is the companion and healer of all beings, He who is the soul and the universe that births souls.

Rumi

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

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

The moment I first heard love I gave up my soul, my heart, and my eyes.

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.
