This regional regulation makes provision for the obligation on Muslims in Solok Selatan, West Sumatra, to wear Muslim dress. Dress standards apply to workers, school students, both male and female.

This regional regulation obliges Muslim school children to attend Diniyah Takmiliyah, which is a non-formal educational stream that makes provision for Islamic religious education for a term of four years at primary level, two years at middle school level, and two years at high school level (arts 3 and 6). The regulation states that this requirement is based on the Pancasila ('five principles' - Indonesian state ideology) and the 1945 Constitution (art 2), and that it will supplement the Islamic education of students who attend public schools (art 4). The curriculum comprises the study of the Qur'an and Hadith, creed and morals (aqidah - ahlak), legal understanding and worship (fiqih - ibadah), Islamic cultural history, Arabic language, and practical worship (art 13(1)). 

In preambular statement (b), this regional regulation states that Qur'anic literacy education constitutes a Muslim societal life activity in North Penajam Paser regency (Penajam Paser Utara), making it necessary to standardise the licensing of Qur'anic literacy teachers. The aim of this regulation is to improve Qur'anic comprehension and competency in all Muslims, starting from the age of pre-school (arts 3 and 4). Accordingly, it makes it compulsory for all primary, middle, and high school students to possess Qur'anic literacy skills (art 8(1)). Every middle school and high school is obliged to make intra-curricular efforts to improve the Qur'anic literacy of those of its students who are not yet literate in the Qur'an (art 8(2)).
