	The Sultan Ahmad masjid is one of the most impressive monuments in the world. It is also known as Blue masjid because of the blue tiles that embellish its interior. Situated in Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey and the capital of Ottoman Empire from 1453 to 1923. It has become the most popular tourist attraction.
	مسجد سلطان احمد دنیا کی انتہائی متاثر کن یادگاروں میں سے ایک ہے۔اس کا اندرونی حصہ نیلی ٹائیلوں سے آراستہ ہونے کی وجہ سے یہ نیلی مسجد کے طور پر بھی مشہور ہے۔ یہ ترکی کے سب سے بڑے شہر استنبول میں واقع ہے جو کہ 1453سے1923تک سلطنت عثمانیہ کا دارلحکومت بھی رہا۔ اب یہ سیاحوں کی توجہ کا سب سے بڑا مرکز بن چکا ہے۔
	The construction of the masjid started in 1609. The royal architect Sedefhar Mehmat Aga was appointed by the Sultan as in-charge of the project. The opening ceremony was held in 1616. Unfortunately, the Sultan could not see the completion of the masjid in his life. It was completed in the reign of his successor Mustafa 1.
	مسجد کی  تعمیر 1609میں شروع ہوئی۔شاہی معمار صدف ہار مہمت آغا کو سلطان کی طرف سے اس منصوبے کا انچارج مقرر کیا گیا۔ اس کی افتتاحی تقریب 1616 میں منعقد ہوئی۔بدقسمتی سے سلطان اپنی زندگی میں مسجد کی تکمیل نہ دیکھ سکا۔اس کی تکمیل اس کے جانشین مصطفےٰ اول کے دور حکومت میں ہوئی۔
	Blue Masjid reflects the architectural style of both Ottoman masjid and Byzentine church. Hagia Sophia, a masjid, one of the wonders of Muslim architecture, was also kept in view as a model. Blue Masjid even today is considered unmatched in splendor, majesty and size.
	نیلی مسجد ، مسجد عثمانیہ اور بازنطینی گرجا گھر دونوں کے طرز تعمیر کی عکاسی کرتی ہے۔حاجیہ صوفیہ مسجد جو کہ مسلم فن تعمیر کا ایک شاہکار ہے ،اُسے بھی نمونے کے طور پر سامنے رکھا گیا۔حتیٰ کہ آج بھی نیلی مسجد کو شان و شوکت ،عظمت اور وسعت کے اعتبار سے بے مثال سمجھا جاتا ہے۔
	The masjid has a spacious forecourt surrounded by a continuous vaulted arcade. It has ablution facilities on both sides. In the centre there is a fountain which is rather small in contrast with the magnitude of the courtyard.
	مسجد کا ایک وسیع صحن ہے جو کہ مسلسل محرابی چار دیواری سے گھرا ہوا ہے۔ اس کے دونوں طرف وضو کی سہولیات ہیں۔اس کے درمیان میں ایک فوارہ ہے کو کہ اس کے صحن کی وسعت کی نسبت قدرِ چھوٹا ہے۔
	The interior of the masjid at the lower level is lined with more than 20,000 hand-made ceramic tiles in more than 50 different tulip designs. At gallery level the design becomes flamboyant with representation of flowers, fruits and cypresses.
	مسجد کے اندرونی حصے کی نچلی سطح میں ہاتھ سے بنی ہوئی بیس ہزار سے زائد چینی کی ٹائیلیں ایک ہی لائن میں لگائی گئی ہیں جن پر گل لالہ کے پھولوں کے پچاس سے زیادہ ڈیزائن بنے ہوئے ہیں۔ گیلری کی سطح پر ، پھولوں،پھلوں اور سرو کے درختوں کی نمائش سے ڈیزائن فروزاں ہوجاتا ہے۔
	The upper level of the interior is adorned with blue paint. More than 200 stained glass windows with intricate designs allow natural light to brighten up its interior and the chandeliers further illuminate it with their glow. The decorations include verses from the holy Quran. The floors are covered with carpets.
	اندرونی حصے کی اُوپر والی سطح نیلے روغن سے مزین ہے۔دوسو سے زائد دودھیا شیشے والی کھڑکیاں ہیں،جن پر پیچیدہ ڈیزائن بنے ہوئے ہیں، جن سے قدرتی روشنی اس کے اندرونی حصے کو روشن کرتی ہے اور فانوس اپنی چمک سے اسے مزید روشن کر دیتے ہیں۔سجاوٹوں میں قرآن پاک کی آیات شامل ہیں۔ فرش قالینوں سے ڈھانپے ہوئے ہیں۔
	The most important element in the interior of the mosque is the mehrab, which is made of finely carved marble. To the right of the mehrab is a richly decorated pulpit. The mosque is so designed that even when it is most crowded, everyone in the mosque can hear and see the Imam.
	مسجد کے اندرونی حصے کا سب سے اہم جز اس کا محراب ہے جوکہ عمدہ کھدے ہوئے سنگ ِ مر مر سے بنا ہے۔محراب کے دائیں جانب انتہائی سجا ہوا ممبر ہے۔ مسجد کو اس طرح سے ڈیزائن کیا گیا ہے کہ جب یہ انتہائی پر ہجوم ہوتو اس میں بیٹھا ہر شخص امام صاحب کی آواز سن سکے اور اُنہیں دیکھ سکے۔
	The Blue mosque has six minarets, four minarets stand one each at the four corners of the mosque. Each of these penciled shaped minarets has three balconies. While the two others at the end of the forecourt have only two balconies.
	نیلی مسجد کے چھے مینار ہیں، چار مینار مسجد کے چاروں کونوں میں کھڑے ہیں۔ ان میں ہر ایک پینسل کی شکل کا ہے اور ان کے تین بالا خانے ہیں۔ جب کہ باقی دو صحن کے آخر  پر ہیں اور ان میں سے ہر ایک کے دو بالا خانے ہیں۔
