10:38For what purpose does a heavy iron chain hung there?
10:45For what purpose does a heavy iron chain hung there?
11:00The chain was put there so that the Sultan had to lower his head every time he entered the court.
11:11It was a symbolic gesture to show the humility of the ruler in the face of the divine.
11:20Where is the royal room situated or why was a separate royal room attached to the mosque?
11:35The royal room is situated at the southeast corner of the mosque.
11:43It has its own pulpit that used to be decorated with jades and roses.
11:51It was meant for the Sultan.
11:58Let's take some short questions related to exercise.
12:05Why Sultan Ahmed Mosque is also known as Blue Mosque?
12:19Because of the blue tiles that embellish its interior.
12:26The upper level of the interior is adorned with blue paint.
12:33We observe the dominance of the blue color in its structure.
12:42Who was appointed as the architect of the mosque?
12:48The royal architect Sadfur Mehmet Agha was appointed by Sultan Ahmed I as in charge of the project.
13:02The Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul is considered the culmination of the career of Sadfur Mehmet Agha.
13:17Why was heavy iron chain hung at the entrance of the court?
13:25The chain was put there so that the Sultan had to lower his head.
13:34It was a symbolic gesture to show the humility of the ruler in the face of the divine.
13:44How does the interior of the mosque look?
13:50If you want to give a short answer, you have to write the yellow underline with commas and ends.
14:01The interior of the mosque is richly decorated with tiles.
14:11It has stained glass windows and chandeliers.
14:21It is also decorated with verses of the Holy Quran.
14:26Its floor is carpeted.
14:30The upper level of the interior looks flamboyant.
14:34Why do you think Madrissa and Hospice was part of the mosque?
14:44Actually, Madrissa and Hospice are not part of any mosque.
14:54But it was custom of the time to combine and construct these with the mosque.
15:10So these were considered the part and parcel of the mosque.
15:20Who constructed Masjid Sophia?
15:25It was a Byzantine church from 537 to 1453.
15:36But the Muslims converted it into a mosque in the reign of Mehmet II.
15:46It was then secularized and opened as a museum on 1st February 1935.
16:07So it has the structural style of both.
16:12The Muslim architecture and the Byzantine church.
16:19But now this mosque has been reopened as a mosque.
