Amid a work rhythm closely tied to the oil, industry, and port sectors, many parents in Balikpapan still want their children to grow up fluent in recitation, close to the Quran, and familiar with Arabic from an early age. The tradition of religious learning in Balikpapan lives through large mosques such as the At-Taqwa Grand Mosque, majelis taklim, madrasahs, and Quran learning gardens active in many neighborhoods.
