Nasir al-Mulk 'Moschea rosa'

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.

Most of the birds of the Old World can be found here, as Oman is on a strategic route for migrating birds.

Saadi

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

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.

Through Love all that is bitter will be sweet, Through Love all that is copper will be gold, Through Love all dregs will become wine, through Love all pain will turn to medicine.

Rumi

When the belly is empty, the body becomes spirit; and when it is full, the spirit becomes body.

Saadi

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

A little and a little, collected together, becomes a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop make the inundation.

Saadi

You know the value of every article of merchandise, but if you don't know the value of your own soul, it's all foolishness.

Rumi

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

May this marriage be full of laughter, our every day in paradise.

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

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

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

Rumi

outside

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.
