The exposition “Ancient Khorezm Civilization,” located in the “Pre-Islamic Period” section of the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan, illustrates how traditions of statehood were formed in Central Asia through archaeological discoveries and written sources.

The building of the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan was constructed based on national architectural traditions and can be entered through four main portals located on its four sides. The portals and the arches on the building’s façade are adorned with verses from the Holy Qur’an and hadiths expressing such noble values as knowledge, enlightenment, tolerance, and respect for parents. In particular, the hadith of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) — “Seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim man and Muslim woman” — is inscribed three times around the portals, symbolizing that the central idea of the Center is the glorification of knowledge and enlightenment.
