    History
    The mosque was built during the Qajar dynasty, and is still in use under protection by the Endowment Foundation of Nasir al Molk. Construction began in 1876 by the order of Mirza Hassan Ali Nasir-ol-Mulk, one of the lords and aristocrats of Shiraz, the son of Ali Akbar Qavam al-Mulk, the kalantar of Shiraz and was completed in 1888. The designers were Mohammad Hasan-e-Memār, an Persian architect who had also built the noted Eram Garden before the Nasir al-Molk Mosque, Mohammad Hosseini Shirazi, and Mohammad Rezā Kāshi-Sāz-e-Širāzi.[2]
    Orsi: Persian Stained Glass
    The roof of Nasir ol-molk mosque
    Although stained glass is mostly popular in churches nowadays, the earliest discovered was in Syria from the 7th century.[dubious - discuss] We do have evidence of techniques and recipes for obtaining stained glass by the Arabic chemist Jabir ibn Hayyan in his book Kitab al-Durra al-maknuna (The Book of the Hidden Pearl) published in the eighth century CE.[3] Orsi windows are windows made of a mixture of wood and colorful glass in the Safavid and the Qajar dynasties. Orsi differs from stained glass used in many churches and Ottoman mosques which serve as illuminated images rather than a source of light. Light is a major feature in many mosques considering it being a major symbol of God in Islam. This is mentioned in a chapter in Quran:
    ″Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth″[4]
    Orsi in Nasir al Molk mosque creates a major definitive feature that makes up the colorful spiritual feeling of awe in the visitor when entering. The main purpose of Orsi is creating colorful light on the interior of the building. The mosque has seven wooden doors with colorful Orsi connecting the interior mosque to the courtyard. Orsi windows are characterized for using geometric shapes in their designs due to the prohibition of images and icons in Islamic art.[5]

    Even with all this supposedly hard work in ornamenting this place, this mosque is devoiid of noor, and is filled with some kind of darkness and depression. That is what happened to all such twelver shiite mosques in Iran. Compare Sunni mosques, which appear like brightened moons. For example, the Imam 'Ali mausoleum in Mazar al Sharif in Afghanistan, that has similar ornaments, yet the mosque is very lively, and guess why, its Sunni; not just any Sunni, but Sunni Sufi, traditional Sunni.
