Turkish architecture is
one of the most magnificent work that is left to us. According to Evliya Çelebi
Bursa Grand Mosque is the Hagia Sophia of Bursa. It is known as the fifth holy
place of Islam. Ok well I'm talking to you from the Great Mosque.
The Grand Mosque was
built by Bayezid I The Thunderbolt who was the fourth Ottoman Emperor and its head
architect is Ali Neccar between 1396-1399. Before Nicopolis victory, in case of
victory, Bayezid I The Thunderbolt decided to have twenty Mosques. But then he
was built twenty dome mosque instead of twenty mosques. Bursa Grand Mosque is
the biggest place of worship in terms of place to worship. The Grand mosque has
a fountain in the middle. This fountain has an interesting property. If you go
to Bursa Grand Mosque (absolutely go) you will feel that amazing airflow. The
airflow is provided from several thousand tiny holes and several hundred big
holes situated on the thick walls. The air, flows through the domes (where the
hot and polluted air is stuck), after that the air accumulate just upon the
fountain, the air is aspired by the water flow of already used water. After all
the fresh and cooled air flows all over the Mosque’s floor and low passing by.
Finally quits the Mosque using the doors. That is why the doors are always
open, and also that is why you feel the amazingly fresh and cold air when you
are at the gates or near the fountain. A water air cleaning system which uses
basic air properties, like the airflow in cooling towers, and nothing else used,
made operational in 1421. That is wonderful!
Another aspect of Grand
Mosque is hand writing on the walls. These hand writings written by twenty-one calligraphers.
There are Allah names, verses of Quran, hadith and good words. These hand writings’
topics are, belief, justice, pray,
pilgrimage,
worship, deeds, patience, halleluiah etc.
The Grand Mosque’s the
most attractive aspect is its minbar (Addressing the congregation where the
imam called minbar). This structure has an amazing astronomy. To the west side
of minbar, the solar system is processed. To the east side of minbar, the galaxy
system is processed. Research on this minbar; this information are confirmed.
This was done with art kundekari which is a type of architectural art. Minbar
consist of 6666 pieces (6666: these numbers is equal to the number of verses in
the Quran).
We cannot finish
telling the great mosque. Really, it is a great structure. I think, you should
go to Bursa and visit the Grand Mosque. Absolutely, there are so many things to
see in Grand Mosque. Best Regards...
