About iLab · The Name Explained
iLab = Islamic Laboratory Uganda
A laboratory is a space for experimentation, discovery and hands-on learning. iLab is not a passive classroom — it's an active space where students experiment with recitation, discover the sciences of Islam, and build mastery step by step.
Just as a scientist grows through repeated experiments, a student of knowledge grows through consistent, focused practice — one session at a time.
