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.

Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.

Rumi

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

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.

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

Rumi

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

Rumi

Rumi

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

Rumi

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

Rumi

A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity 'til he has tasted adversity.

Saadi

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

Rumi

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

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

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.
