Si nunca has estado en el interior de una mezquita, quizás no sepas que estos recintos esconden una belleza increíble. El arte del interior es impresionante; muchas mezquitas están completamente cubiertas con colores vibrantes y elaborados patrones de azulejos. Son un testimonio no solo de la creatividad humana, sino también de nuestra capacidad para mostrar amor y devoción a través de las artes visuales. Estos lugares de culto son espacios en los que los musulmanes pasan el tiempo durante la semana rezando, estudiando o simplemente descansando y reflexionando.

El mes sagrado del Ramadán es un periodo en el que muchos musulmanes pasan más tiempo en las mezquitas. Durante este mes, los fieles tienen la oportunidad de poner más atención a los motivos de los techos de estos espacios. Bayt Al Fann, un sitio web que es “una casa para todos, que explora el arte y la cultura inspirados en la tradición islámica”, recientemente compartió una selección de magníficos techos de mezquitas en un hilo viral de Twitter.

El hilo destaca una variedad de diseños y comparte información sobre cada lugar. Muchas de las mezquitas tienen cientos de años de antigüedad; así, el hilo no solo deslumbra por sus fotos, sino que también es una valiosa oportunidad de aprender algo nuevo.
