"Gus you can explain the history of the blue Mosque Gus" asked Gus Malik to his brother-in-law.

"Can Gus insyaallah be able to.." said Gus Rohman.

"Explain Gus let us know more about my beauty add if there is something that needs to be added right" said Gus Malik.

"This is the explanation....The Blue Mosque was founded between 1609 and 1616 on the orders of Sultan Ahmed I, who later became the name of the mosque. He gave a mandate to an architect named Sedefhar Mehmet Aga to build this mosque. Sedefhar also asked the Sultan not to save costs in the construction of this large and beautiful place of worship of Muslims. The basic structure of this building is almost cubical, measuring 53 by 51 meters. As is the case in all mosques, the mosque is directed in such a way that the person performing the Salat faces Makkah, with mihrab in front.Sedefhar Mehmet Aga himself is a student and assistant of the famous architecture Mimar Sinan. According to information, Sultan Ahmed I wanted to make a tower made of gold. The golden word in Turkish is ‘Altin’. But the architect understood it with ‘Alti’, which in Turkish means 6. So it becomes a mosque that has 6 minarets. But Sultan Ahmed was amazed by the six unique minarets of the mosque. The construction of the mosque took 7 years or was completed in 1616. Reportedly, due to the same number of minarets as the Grand Mosque in Makkah at that time, Sultan Ahmed I received sharp criticism so he finally donated the cost of making the seventh tower for the Grand Mosque.A heavy iron chain was installed above the gate of the western mosque. In the past, only Sultan Ahmed I was allowed to enter the courtyard of the mosque on horseback. This chain was installed so that Sultan Ahmed I lowered his head when passing in order not to stumble the chain. It is meant as a symbol of the humility of the ruler in the presence of Divine power. Sultan Ahmed I died when he was 27 years old, or 1 year after the completion of the construction of this mosque. Later he was buried in the courtyard of this mosque, as well as his wife and three sons.The Blue Mosque was built by Sultan Ahmed I to match the building Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) made by the Byzantine emperor, Constantinople. It used to be a Byzantine church before it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Now it has been converted into a museum. Hagia Sophia is one block from the Blue Mosque.That's how Gus explained if there is something wrong please be justified.." said Gus Rohman.

"Alhamdulillah it is true Gus "said Gus Malik.

"Kalo according to Abi how his explanation" asked the Princess for an explanation from the husband.

"Indeed umma does not understand" asked Gus Malik to his wife.

"Yes bi umma does not understand.." said the Princess.

"This according to Abi umma,,,,, History of Blue Mosque Turkey – Blue Mosque / The Sultan Ahmed Mosque building above has marble pillars and more than 200 stained glass windows with various designs that emit light from the outside. the name of the building is one of the most tourist destinations in the interest of foreign tourists in the Land of a Thousand Mosques Turkey.
