One is great
Who faces fate
Before it’s late,
Appreciate
The destined state
No matter how much we debate
Oppose, engage, or calculate
Even try to accelerate
Fate only moves at its own rate.
Futile is worry, anger and hate
Joy is the only worthy mate.

After the Peace of Zsitvatorok and the unfavorable result of the war with Persia, Sultan Ahmet the First decided to build a big mosque in Istanbul to calm God.[citation needed] It would be the first imperial mosque for more than forty years.

It caused the anger of oulémas, the Muslim jurists. The mosque must be built on the site of the palace of the Byzantine emperors, in front of the basilica Ayasofya (at that time, the mosque the most worshipped in Istanbul) and the racecourse, a site of a big symbolic meaning.

The Blue Mosque, one of the most well known sites in Istanbul, was built in 1609 by Sultan Ahmed I. It's interior tile decorations, some 20,000 blue tiles, are some of the most intricate in the world, and some of the most beautiful, at least from what I've seen.

This is Blue Mosque (Masjede Kabud) in Tabriz. Yesterday was holiday in Iran because of Imam Ali's death day, and it was a very boring day. So I went to Blue Mosque to shoot some photos.
