Abstract	This study explores the Quran-inspired knowledge construction in the medieval Islamic world, researching how the Quran served as a foundational search for knowledge acquirement in the medieval period. It examines epistemological models, revealing the Quranic influence that inspired systems of knowledge construction. The medieval period, especially the late Middle Ages, was an era when several new and basic theories were found out. The study also traces how the Islamic scholars in the medieval period, especially scientists and philosophers among them, discover new theories and information depending on the Quran as their source. The researcher mainly aims at benefiting society and deepening people’s faith, delving into the Quranic epistemology, which promotes a holistic system of learning. In the current world, where the Islamic legacy is falling down, this study aims to change the people's hearts by revealing the Quran's wonders before them. The methodology of this qualitative study is the Holy Quran with its interpretations and the medieval Islamic discovery, along with the integration of theology, philosophy, and science. The results show that the Quran's order to seek, reflect, and understand developed an excellent learning tradition that strengthened faith beside knowledge acquisition. The medieval Islamic scholars have discovered several basic theories in the fields of science, theology, philosophy, and many more, which depended on the holy Quran. In the medieval Islamic world, scholars acquired different models of knowledge that connected religious understanding with scientific and philosophical inquiry. The Quran's light of knowledge, mainly its holistic method of education, was completely relevant for knowledge construction in the medieval period. In conclusion, the study highlights the lasting value of the Quran-inspired approaches to knowledge and its relevance for modern education, confirming these medieval models show how knowledge was seen as both a divine gift and a human responsibility. Finally, the Quran's guidance with its orders and revelations encouraged observation, questioning, and moral purpose in learning, shaping an education style that joined faith with knowledge acquirement.
