- In Persian, the term Shah Cheragh roughly translates to "king of the light." It's a fitting name for the glittering mosque in Shiraz, Iran. The building, adorned with shimmering multi-colored pieces of tile and glass, is considered the country's third most important pilgrimage site. It functions as a a funerary monument, a mosque and a beautiful holy place for thousands of worshippers.

why are there so many hate comments? Even if you hate Muslims and Iran, this place is beautiful and unique. Thank you for showing this amazing mosque.
Mohammad El-Awa Bro too much brainwashed people in our generation. Salam from an Iranian
i don't see too many hate comments. Have they been removed?
those who spread hate simply show what kind of human beings they are
@@Raybod_369 bro..can I ask u something about Iran?
@@helix7203 I can answer you my brother tell me
The people who are making hate comments about this beautiful masterpiece of Persian architecture are full of arrogance and their eyes are spoiled by fear & anger.
But i bet that even those haters would have been forgotten their impulse to abuse for a second because of the magnificent glimpse of this human heritage.
I am an proud Indian Hindu and i wholeheartedly admire this incredible creation 😍👏👏
Thanks sis💓🙏🇮🇳🌸

TheDarkLeader in Iran a lot of people hate islam they just don’t want to admit it because of the government they will kill them
@@GodlyXpert You're idiot. No hates Islam but they hate the government theocratic regime
Iran was flourished during the Islamic era
There are not around 60,000 jews living peacefully in Iran from when you wrote that comment (2017) according to the virtual Jewish library Iran had an estimated Jewish population of ~ 8,500 as well as that Iran does not have the highest Jewish population outside of Israel that goes to the US which as of 2017 when you wrote that comment had a Jewish population of 5.7 million and according to the Jewish virtual library Iran does not even fit into the top 15 nations with the highest Jewish population there are not 26 UNESCO heritage sites in Iran in 2017 the world atlas reported that Iran had 22 UNESCO world heritage sites altogether not 26 sites and in addition Iran does not house more ski resorts than the combined total of south America according to nevasport Iran had 6 ski resorts in 2014 whereas for mainland south America (the countries where which data was available those being Argentina Bolivia and Chille) alone had 54 ski resorts alone which means that south America does have more ski resorts than Iran not the other way using wikipedias list of active synagouges in Iran there was a combined total 65 synagouges in Iran (not 15) and Tehran alone held 34 of the synagouges (not 8)
@@fhvghjgjgf2501 you actually had. the time to do that
Iran is in the top of my bucketlist
Ever since I saw the drew binsky blogs on iran my views and stereotypes in the country changed,iran has charming history, mouthwatering foods, amazing culture and amazing people
Love from
Bangladesh!!
That is, utterly beautiful...
say what you want about Islam, but Islamic art is definitely among the most beautiful in the world
sarah s yep
sarah s Islam isn't, Persian is
This has nothing to do with Islam, This is Iranian art work.
pedram yes
Iranian architecture is a part of Islamic art. That is a fact.
This is especially true when it comes to Mosques which blend Arabic, Byzantine, Persian and countless other art styles. It's pure ignorance to say it has nothing to do with Islam.
I hope it never gets destroyed, it's simply beautiful and should be preserved.
Why would it get destroyed and by whom?
@@persiancat2008 u never know. nobody expected notre dame to be damaged but here we are
@@persiancat2008 Americans
No by Sunnis. They always want to blow up the holy shrines of imams ع but they never will
@@persiancat2008Trump threatened to destroy 52 of Iran's most important Mosques if Iran dared to retaliate forcrhe killing of Soleimani - but completely BACKED OFF when Iran retaliated anyway.
This building is quite literally beyond breathtaking. From the gorgeous patterns of the tiled surfaces, to the mirrored surfaces that dazzle the eyes and enchant by the sheer complexity of the play of light. The myriad reflections quite literally make the walls and vaults shimmer with light - stunning. This is a building I would love to visit before I shuffle off my mortal coil. Thing is, I wonder how on earth I could leave a space like that?...
Mashallah iran
Shia superpower of the world
Thanks for the video
GOD BLESS YOU

*Story of Shah Chirag* :
Shah Chirag (King of Light) is a title given to Ahmad ibn Musa (Eldest son of 7th Shia Holy Imam Musa al Kazim & a Great Grandson of Prophet Muhammad)
Ahmad was not Iranian, he was born in the holy city of his great grandfather Prophet Muhammad "Medina", which makes him an Arab. During those days Shia Muslims and Syeds (descendants of Prophet Muhammad) were being killed by Abbasid Caliphs for being against corruption caused by Caliphs
Many Syeds migrated to other regions leaving their forefathers land for saving their children, and Ahmad along with his other siblings migrated to Iran to meet his Beloved Brother, 8th Shia Holy Imam, Ali ibn Musa al Reza (whose shrine is located in Mash'had, Iran) who was forcibly taken away from Medina to Khurasan, Iran by the Abbasid Caliph Mamun al Rashid
On the way to meet his beloved brother, Ali al Reza, Ahmad received the heart breaking news of the murder of his brother Imam Ali al Reza, who was poisoned by Mamun al Rashid
Ahmad and his siblings along with other family members and companions grieved a lot.
Ahmad and his caravan was surrounded by a large army sent by Mamun al Rashid to kill them.
Ahmad and his other brothers fought 4 times bravely for saving themselves from Abbasid Army but 5th time he along with his another younger brother (possibly Muhammad) was assassinated
His body was thrown down the hills.
After some days, some women saw a light coming from a place at evening, they got scared so they informed the village elders about it
One of the old scholars there, after seeing the light said "Indeed, that's the King of the Light"
When they got near there, they saw a body uncorrupt and fresh, on the hands of the body there was ring on which was written "Blessings and Peace be upon Ahmad, son of Musa al Kazim"
NEED. TO. GO. HERE.
Were else .....
great, add that to the growing list of places i have to go to
Go in there with a single laser pointer and it'll be the craziest rave of all time
That's creative i should say but there is so much light in there that it won't be seen
lmfaoooo

Don't scroll down, the comments aren't worth it. Save yourself.
Yep. Its not just 'Westerner' but also Sunnis who hate Iran and Shia mosque.
Labin Thapa Lol your comment was at the top of the comment section
@@labinthapa5957 dude Sunnis dont hate Shias, we only have like 2 differences I mean we are both like the same, the difference between Shia and Sunnis is way smaller than Catholics and protestants
Gorgeous
I am lost for words on how amazingly beautiful this mosque’s design is and respect to those who built it
Added to my bucket list :)

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
I am designer of this work
So is a naked woman 😜
Blows my mind how beautiful both shiite and sunni Muslim architecture is. Absolutely breathtaking. And the people are the most kind,generous, and hospitable people on earth. People need to stop changing, or making then to be the worst . They are not. I've traveled to many European countries,but my dream is to travel to every muslim country in the middle east. Ishalla🙏
I wonder if there are longer documentaries of these clips anywhere? Would love to go there myself one day.
Katherina Kang, TH-cam search travel Iran and you'll get a ton.
Rick Steve has made a beautiful documentary about iran, and drew binsky has made 14, 3 to5 minute vlogs on iran

If only the world can come together and make thw whole world as beautiful as this without involving any kind of hate would truly be remarkable

@@guyp9596 for what reason?
For not being a Muslim
@@guyp9596 who told you that? Iran has an Armenian community which fled their country to iran when ottomans' committed genocide against them. The jewish community in Iran's the second biggest Jewish community in the middle east after israel (obviously) the zoroastrianism is a recognized religion and iran has the second biggest zoroastrian community, 5 percent of iranians are Sunnis. There is a sikh community which is recognized by the state. And all of the ones that i mentioned have a representative in the iranian parliament (its a quota) . I won't waste your time with more figures and you should stop trolling everywhere cuz there would be an honest guy like me to blow your cover
All of those Communities u mentioned were all thrraten and attacked
I’m Sunni Muslim

I hope to one day see this mosque with my own eyes and return to the land of my birth. Sadly with war between America/Saudi Arabia/Israel and Iran looming, I fear that holy sites like this will be destroyed and gone forever. Salafi Muslims of Saudi Arabia will not allow any shrine like this to stand. Where any sane person sees incredible beauty and divine inspiration, they see hatred, death, and evil because it was built as a tribute to holy men (saints) and thus HARAM (forbidden) in their twisted and sad version of Islam. My heart breaks thinking about way happen. Most of my fellow Americans do not want war with Iran. We have no quarrel with the Iranian people.
Bro listen this masterpice about Imam Ali a.s. sung by a tamil hindu girl,composed and performed my muslims in a church th-cam.com/video/WyZZBpxcLMw/w-d-xo.html
Millions of Shiite Arabs live in Saudi Arabia's eastern provinces, and are protected by the Saudi government.

Don't be afraid there's no earthquake.

Except the main burial chamber of Emam Reza in city of Mashad,other places are open to non Muslims as well. Even in Mashad you can visit almost 90% of the mauseleum.
