The Islamic religion respected the works of art made by people of other religions, and did not demolish them like barbars. As they were building mosques like Fatih and Sultan Ahmad (Blue Mosque) in Istanbul, they did not feel averse to modelling some of their architecture after that of Saint Sophia. Throughout history, Muslims have displayed greatest justice and mercy towards people of other religions.

∙ 13y agoAfter the Peace of Zsitvatorok (1606) and the unfavourable result of the wars with Persia, Sultan Ahmed I decided to build a large mosque in Istanbul as recompense. This would be the first imperial mosque to be built in more than forty years. Whereas his predecessors had paid for their mosques with their war booty, Sultan Ahmed I had to withdraw the funds from the treasury, because he had not won any notable victories.
I believe it is famous and admired for the 'blue tile' used in its interior. AS stated above, it was also built using state funds instead of with the 'spoils of war'. It is loacted in Istanbul, capital of the Ottoman Empire (from 1453 to 1923).
The building is a combination of square (administrative purposes) and domed ( spiritual uses)

Why does the blue mosque have 6 minarets?
It has 6 minarets because when Sultan directed his architect to make gold (altin) minarets, it was misunderstood as six (alti) minarets. The Haram Mosque in Mecca also had 6 minarets and it is the holiest in the world. So Sultan sent his architect to add a seventh to the Haram Mosque.
