Religious issues in Minangkabau often stem from a decline in socio-cultural awareness despite the region’s rich tradition of moderation. This study explores Islamic religious moderation within the Minangkabau tau jo nan ampek philosophy. Using primary sources from Adat Minangkabau Nan Salingka Hiduik and Tau Jo Nan Ampek, alongside secondary references, this qualitative research applies content and thematic analysis. The findings reveal four key dimensions: tau jo diri (knowing oneself), tau jo urang (knowing society), tau jo alam (knowing nature), and tau jo Tuhan (knowing of God). These reflect egocentric, sociocentric, cosmocentric, and theocentric perspectives, offering a holistic approach to moderation. By integrating spiritual, social, and environmental aspects, tau jo nan ampek surpasses traditional theocentric and anthropocentric paradigms. This study underscores its role in fostering self-reflection, social harmony, and ecological responsibility, demonstrating the relevance of local wisdom in countering extremism
