Maktab

A Maktab is a traditional Islamic school that focuses on teaching children basic religious education, particularly the Quran and Islamic principles. Typically, these schools cater to young students and operate outside the formal education system. In a Maktab, children learn reading, writing, and memorization of the Quran, along with lessons on Islamic values, ethics, and rituals. Maktabs play an important role in community education, especially in Muslim-majority countries, as they aim to instill a strong foundation of faith and moral character in young learners.
