Abstract The goal of this essay is to explain the moderate views of Mappanre Temme, an Indonesian Qurʾanic celebration custom common in Bugis-Makassar, South Sulawesi. Here, Mappanre Temme is viewed as a phenomenon of the Bugis-Makassar Muslim community’s reception or acceptance of the Qurʾan, and it is examined via a phenomenological-philosophical lens. Interviews, observations, documentation, and the examination of relevant documents were used to gather data and information. The article’s findings indicate that, like the Mappanre Temme custom, local Islamic traditions that have developed and endured to this day demonstrate their presence and serve as a symbol of moderate religious beliefs within local Muslim communities. Six elements of religious moderation can be found in this tradition: (1) Acknowledgment of Islam and the local culture; (2) Professionalism and awareness; (3) Alignment with the agreement; (4) Values and meanings in the preparations and components of the tradition; (5) Cohesion; and (6) Tradition flexibility in adjusting space and time. The conclusions of this paper had a major impact on the regional Islamic tradition, serving as a foundational idea for the development of a moderate religious outlook ingrained in Indonesian ethnic culture.
