A massive mosque with red lights all around it.

You have seen colour decoration in various colours, particularly white. Colors are typically used for a variety of purposes, and each colour has a meaning when activated. These colours have different meanings in different religions and are worn accordingly. Some colours are well-known even today, such as the white flag, which represents victory, and the red flag, which represents a danger zone, among others. When it comes to religion, Islam has different colour meanings that have different meanings and are set accordingly.

This is the Qandari Mosque, the largest in my city with a large capacity inside. This is the nearest mosque to my house, and I can see the mosque's colour changing from quite close. When I climb to the roof of my house, I can see the mosque very clearly, and different lights are set according to relevance. As I've noticed, they usually use four colours, each with a different meaning.

What are the meanings of these colours according to religion, and why are they changed? According to popular belief, these meanings are associated with the past. White light is used on normal days when there is no sadness or happiness. Green is the colour of happiness, which means that the day was massive and that good things happened on that day. The colour red represents the cruelty and brutality that occurred on that particular day in history. The colour black represents sorrow, which is the day of mourning or anything bad that happened on that day.

In this post, I've included some images from the unusually large Mosque, which is entirely red. As previously stated, this is a sign of brutality and cruelty. That night is significant in the history of Islam because it is the day when the brutality and cruelty are perpetrated against the Prophet's family. That is why red lights are turned on, so that they can share their emotions and grief with them.

To be honest, seeing red lights as you enter the mosque gives you the impression that something has gone wrong. However, the entire mosque looked beautiful with these lights because we are used to seeing white colours everywhere and suddenly switching to red light is surprising. I decided to take some pictures all around the mosque to show you how beautiful it is. The first image shows the front end of the mosque, which has a large gate to enter.

I also shared some selfies and pictures of other parts of the mosque with you. This is an attempt on my part to show some unusual aspects of my culture and make you aware of them. I hope you enjoy the red light photography and the reading as much as I do. If you enjoyed it, please leave a comment so that the next post can be even better. Thank you for sticking with me until the end.
