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.

Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.

Rumi

The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.

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.

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

Rumi

Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what's hidden.

Rumi

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

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

Hafez

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

Rumi

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

Rumi

We are born of love; Love is our mother.

Rumi

Oh Cup-bearer, set my glass afire with the light of wine!

Hafez

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

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

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

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.
