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.

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

Oman overall has great animal and plant biodiversity because it has mountains, desert, coastal areas and rich coral reefs.

Saadi

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.

And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice.

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

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

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

Rumi

There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again.

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

There is an invisible strength within us; when it recognizes two opposing objects of desire, it grows stronger.

Rumi

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

Saadi

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

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.
