However, no specific rule outlines integrating acquired knowledge with memorized Quranic verses in KPI. This study aims to develop a method for integrating memorized Quranic verses with acquired knowledge based on Pedaste inquiry-based learning approach. This study used a three-phase Design and Development Research (DDR) approach, Phase 1: Need Analysis, Phase 2: Development of the method, and Phase 3: Evaluation of the method. This paper discusses Phase 2, which is developing the method for integrating memorized Quranic verses with aqli knowledge. This phase uses the Fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) involving twelve (12) experts in Quranic exegesis. The FDM questionnaire was developed using the literature review and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) by seven (7) experts in the related field of study. The location of this study is limited to Kolej PERMATA Insan, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). The process of developing a method integrating memorized Quranic verses with acquired knowledge was implemented in five phases, namely: (1) Orientation, (2) Conceptualization with two subphases: Questioning and Generation of Hypotheses, (3) Investigation with three subphases: Exploration, Experiment, and Data Interpretation, (4) Conclusion, and (5) Discussion with three subphases: Communication, Reflection 1, and Reflection 2. The current study successfully produces guidelines by combining the discipline of Quranic exegesis through the inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach by integrating verses in the Quran with acquired knowledge.en-USQur'anic StudiesMiddle East and Islamic StudiesReligionAsian StudiesAfrican StudiesGeneralReligious Studiestext::journal::journal article395425233
