This study provides an account of how the Attoana tradition is practiced in Samataring Village, Jeneponto, and how the community links the ritual to Islamic teachings in everyday life. Although Attoana continues to be performed by many families, research that describes its religious orientation and its changes across generations remains limited. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the fieldwork involved observing the preparation and implementation of the ritual, conducting interviews with traditional leaders, religious figures, and family members, and documenting ritual items and prayer activities. The collected data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model to identify recurring patterns in how the community interprets Attoana. The study finds that Attoana is centered on prayer, expressions of gratitude, and the fulfillment of vows (attinja), with Qur’anic recitation, barzanji, and collective prayer forming its main religious components. These elements are consistently understood as affirming the ritual’s alignment with Islamic values rather than contradicting them. The research also notes gradual changes, such as the simplification of symbolic items and the less frequent involvement of younger participants, though the structure of the ritual remains intact. These findings indicate that Attoana continues to serve as a cultural setting through which Islamic values are transmitted and practiced, functioning as a form of cultural da’wah embedded in everyday community life.
