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.

Whenever you argue with another wiser than yourself in order that others may admire your wisdom, they will discover your ignorance.

Saadi

Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you.

Hafez

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.

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

I fear God and next to God I mostly fear them that fear him not.

Saadi

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

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

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

Rumi

When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.

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

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

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