Islamic da'wah in South Sulawesi cannot be separated from common obstacles as is the case in Indonesia, such as financial constraints, lack of educated personnel and militancy to preach to remote areas as well as conflicts of interest with other da'wah institutions. This phenomenon does not become the main obstacle for several da'wah institutions in South Sulawesi in carrying out da'wah tasks, especially da'wah to non-muslims and fostering converts to Islam. There is a trend of increasing the number of non-muslims converting to Islam due to several factors, especially due to the da'wah touch from the preachers of Islamic institutions who are specifically targeting non-muslims in the interior of Pinrang Regency. This research is a field research with a case study in the Makula and Salukata Villages, Betteng Village, Lembang Mesakada District, Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi. This research uses qualitative methods in analyzing this data, in addition to describing, it also conducts a SWOT analysis, namely an analysis of the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and obstacles to the problem of Islamic da'wah to non-Muslims, especially in the Pinrang Regency area. The purpose of this study is contribute to Islamic institutions in developing their da’wah to non-muslims and reverts. In this study, it was found that the dominant factors causing non-muslims to embrace Islam were due to the process of deep reflection on the search for truth through religious lectures and persuasion from families who had previously embraced Islam and the factor of marriage. The post-Islamic development process was carried out by bringing in preachers from several Islamic organizations to the village to live together in the converts' village and become Islamic builder in the area, which was coordinated by the Pinrang Religious Affairs Office.Dakwah Islam di Sulawesi selatan tidak lepas dari kendala-kendala umum sebagaimana yang banyak terjadi di Indonesia seperti kendala finansial, kurangnya tenaga terdidik dan militansi untuk berdakwah ke pelosok serta benturan kepentingan dengan lembaga dakwah lainnya. Fenomena ini tidak menjadi penghalang utama bagi beberapa lembaga dakwah di Sulawesi Selatan dalam melaksanakan tugas-tugas dakwah khususnya dakwah kepada non muslim dan pembinaan para muallaf. Terdapat tren peningkatan jumlah non muslim menjadi muallaf karena beberapa faktor khususnya akibat sentuhan dakwah dari para dai lembaga Islam yang memang secara khusus menyasar non muslim di wilayah pedalaman kabupaten Pinrang. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lapangan dengan studi kasus di wilayah desa Makula dan Salukata Kelurahan Betteng Kecamatan Lembang Mesakada Kabupaten Pinrang Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dalam analisis data ini selain mendeskripsikan juga melakukan analisis SWOT, yaitu analisis kelebihan, kekurangan, peluang dan hambatan terhadap masalah dakwah Islam kepada non muslim khususnya di wilayah Kabupaten Pinrang. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk memberi kontribusi kepada lembaga Islam dalam mengembangkan dakwah mereka kepada non muslim dan muallaf. Pada penelitian ini ditemukan hasil bahwa faktor-faktor dominan penyebab non muslim memeluk Islam diantaranya karena proses perenungan mendalam terhadap upaya pencarian kebenaran melalui ceramah agama serta persuasi dari keluarga yang telah lebih dahulu memeluk Islam dan faktor pernikahan. Adapun proses pembinaan pasca memeluk Islam dilakukan dengan mendatangkan dai-dai dari beberapa ormas Islam ke desa tersebut untuk tinggal bersama di kampung muallaf dan menjadi pembina keislaman di daerah tersebut yang dikoordinir oleh Kantor Urusan Agama Pinrang
