This study examines the communication of the Muslim community through cross-religious social interactions at Mardika Market in Ambon City. Social interactions among different religious groups are conducted as a communication process to build social identity through intrapersonal, interpersonal, and group communication. Understanding cross-religious social interaction relationships and communication events is used as the basis of this study, and the study identifies patterns of cross-religious communication relationships. The Muslim community offers various reasons for engaging in social interactions as part of their role as sellers, explaining what they experience and how they experience it from a phenomenological perspective. 

Several findings explain that the Muslim community engages in social interactions with the Christian community (buyers) through intrapersonal, interpersonal, and group communication, focusing on the social context of "pela gandong" with the symbol of interreligious peace "basudara samua," which signifies kinship relationships based on acceptance, such as the values of "contemporary humanity" to achieve harmonious social interactions with the hope of living together peacefully. 

Acceptance through cross-religious social interactions for the Muslim community is driven by the desire to create harmonious relationships by understanding and respecting each other's differences to achieve harmonious acceptance practices in social interactions at Mardika Market. Acceptance of cross-religious social interactions will create communication events by setting up stalls and identifying communication patterns for the Muslim community through close and tight social interaction processes, creating social communication meanings that allow different religions to live together peacefully and at a higher level, to collaborate through social context activities. 

Cross-religious social interactions at Mardika Market emphasize the subjective experiences of the Muslim community. The analysis from a phenomenological perspective demonstrates the benefits of developmental studies for Muslims by influencing the Christian community. These developmental values will build kinship by searching for the meaning of social interactions and enabling peaceful coexistence. Cross-religious social interactions enrich and develop social and religious perspectives by strengthening scholarly knowledge and the roots of da'wah (Islamic missionary work).
