Application of shadow and light with each other has been from the works that gives the mystical sense to the space, especially in religious spaces such as mosques. In view of light, as a major space component, the overall composition, with adjacent servant spaces, find a particular form of organization, which is centralized and where hierarchies define the general pattern. The order of structure, in which light comes as a containing discovering geometry, commands subsidiary openings, which imposes a disciplined regularity of spaces whilst offering greater complex layers of perception. In Iranian architecture, the study of light and color, in accordance with volumes and structure, has always been considered as an essential part of the different stages of the building and its realization.
