Doors as the gates of security seem to be very functional architectural elements of our daily life. They are the symbols of mobility and transfer of the modern times. However, the transcendental truth of the past and present force people to attribute different meanings to the doors for many centuries. The doors tend to implement hopes and fears as well as tragedies and cultivations. Out of the many doors to be touched and opened, this paper concentrates more on the virtual doors leading to the virtual corridors or the spaces rather than the parts of the buildings leading to rooms, halls or other areas. These doors represent a different simulation, a unique ownership and the passersby might not be able to get back through the same doors. These symbolic doors could be expanded starting from the images of the holy books such as Qur’an and Bible up to the ordinary texts.
