Iranian Islamic Architecture

The fall of the Sassanian dynasty by the invading Muslim Arabs led to the adaptation of Persian architectural forms for Islamic religious buildings in Iran. Arts such as calligraphy, stucco work, mirror work and mosaics became closely tied with the architecture of mosques in Persia (Iran). An example is the round-domed rooftops which originate in the Parthian (Ashkanid) dynasty of Iran.

Daily meditation is the best gift you can give yourself. Even if it’s 5, 10 minutes every day–it doesn’t matter. All that matters is you take a small bit of time out of your routine every day for yourself and for your own well-being

Amen.
