Before Islam
came to Uzbekistan in the early years of the medieval period the people here
used to worship elements of nature. The proof of this has been preserved in the
traditional folk-art that speaks volumes about pre-Islamic Uzbekistan. Before
the Arabs became the paramount political power around the 8th century, this
region had already been exposed to Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism,
Zoroastrianism, and to the religious and social philosophy of Mazda.
