Ceilings of the Masjed-e Jamé

Mosque ceilings are designed to reflect the magnificence of the universe.

The four iwan courtyard design of Masjed-e Jamé was revolutionary at the time. It was the first mosque to adopt this configuration, which was then replicated for centuries across the Islamic world. Inspired by Sassanid architecture, the open courtyard was surrounded by four high rectangular ceiling structures called iwans, each with three walls and a large opening. The entrances to the iwans are decorated in colourful tiles, glimmering in gold and blues, with the most impressive being the southern Qibla iwan, facing Mecca. It has two minarets rising up above its entrance and a large dome behind it.

Was für eine Pracht, was für eine Ästhetik ! Aus einer Zeit als der Islam in Persien noch eine Hochkultur war.

  Ja, aber die Hochkultur in Persien war die Zeit, als die Religon von Zahathustra (in persisch Zardush) verbreitet war.
  Um etwa 650 v. Chr. war der Zoroastrismus, bzw. Zarathustrismus, wie man diese Religion nannte, eine monotheistische Religion, die auf den Ideen des Philosophen Zoroaster (Zarathushtra) basierte, zur offiziellen Religion des alten Persiens geworden.
  
  Erst Mitte 650 nach Chr. konvertierte Persien zum Islam unter dem Einfluss der arabischen Eroberung bei dem großen Militärfeldzug des Raschidun-Kalifats.
