It neatly displays the then-government’s view of what Islam should ideally be like: pretty to look at, but preferably without substance.Next-door is the administrative centre of the Mufti of Uzbekistan, the head of official Islam in the Republic.the complex has a rich library of oriental manuscripts. The world famous Quran of Caliph Uthman – Ottoman has been preserved here. Ottoman Koran is the primary source of Islam holy book that was written in the middle of VII century.
