Hi @Ehsantheguide

Thank you for sharing some nice photos of the Ismail mosque in Iran.

It seems to be in tip-top condition and I especially like the ceiling that is painted with a symmetric pattern.

Is the white text with a green background written in Arabic or is it the Persian script?

It may not be obvious on a mobile screen but the image looks much smaller for a desktop user hence, I would also suggest changing the setting to display the picture in a larger size - that would look awesome.

Hello @Ehsantheguide ,

Thank you for sharing with us, the ceiling on the first photo looks incredible! Did you take this picture? What camera did you use?

dear @TusharSuradkar the first picture already was taken by a typical cellphone as i remember at the time i had a Iphone 7.
what has been written was special verses from holy Qoran (holy book of Muslims). but in detail if you want to know better the difference between Persian alphabet and Arabic is only in four letters. it means that Arabic alphabet contains 28 letters and persian is 32 letters.We can read Arabic but we do not understand until we have studied arabic. Pronunciation of these four letters are ‘p’ like in pear, ‘ch’ like in chamber, ‘g’ like in guide and ‘zh’ like in TGV(French pronunciation). I underlined them. I wish i will be clear enough.

@BorrisS thanks a million dear Borris for the recommendation on the second picture.

it was taken by an Iphone. This type of architecture is Islamic architecture called Muqarnas. which has different stories behind it. you will see this type in different mosques and holy shrines.
