Purpose – This article aims to map research by elaborating on cross-religious relationships and social interaction communication for the Muslim community in Mardika Market, Ambon City, Maluku.

Method – Blumer's theoretical exploration is used with a constructivist paradigm and phenomenological communication method as fundamental references. This review is developed based on input from mardika market management coordinator and identifies current field research obtained qualitatively through several informal conversational interviews and observations of various gaps in social interactions.

Results – The article highlights the complexity of cross-religious social interactions impacting intrapersonal, interpersonal, and group communication for the Muslim community in Mardika Market. It begins with understanding cross-religious social interaction relationships and communication events, then finds patterns of communication relationships within the Muslim community.

Implications – This article contributes to realize cross-religious harmonization by discussing the search for the meaning of social interactions with the hope of living together peacefully. Strengthening social interactions is very important as it tends to reduce the incidence of cross-religious conflicts. This contribution offers opportunities for social interaction accommodation and ways to avoid cross-religious tensions.

Originality/Value – Many published articles focus on cross-religious relationships by detailing the tensions and benefits of cross-religious social interactions, but they are still lacking. However, this study presents the phenomenological communication method and constructivist paradigm to observe the development of communication within the Muslim community engaging in cross-religious social interactions in Mardika Market, Ambon City, Moluccas.
