The research aims to explore its concept, philosophy, identity, and educational significance. A qualitative-descriptive approach was employed, relying on literature review, document analysis, and historical-cultural studies of Banjar traditions. Findings reveal that Batamat is not merely a Qur’anic completion ceremony but also a means of strengthening tawhid, worship, morality, and social solidarity. The tradition manifests in diverse forms mass Batamat, wedding Batamao, manyaratus, mulutan (Maulid celebration), and Ramadan tadarus each affirming the Qur’an’s role as a guide for life.
