Intellect, as the most fundamental tool of guidance in Islamic thought, holds a special place in the Quran. The Quranic model of intellectual education plays an important role in Islamic awakening based on the relationship between the Imam and the Ummah, such that the effectiveness of this movement depends on this model. In fact, a comprehensive and effective explanation of intellectual education from the Quran's perspective serves as the spirit and framework of the Islamic awakening movement, as it explains the relationships between the Imam and Ummah on the axis of intellect. This research aims to explain the model of intellectual education from the Quran's perspective to facilitate its application in Islamic awakening movements and to explain and present the relationship between the Imam and Ummah on the axis of intellect. This research uses an interpretive-structural methodology to explain the components of intellectual education in a layered format. In this method, ten Quranic scholars participated in developing the self-interaction matrix. The enlightenment of intellect was positioned as layer level 1 and the deepest layer. This layer influences "intellectual truth-finding. "The enlightenment of intellect also affects the third layer, which includes "intellectual truth-finding," "intellectual growth and development," and "intellectual perfection." All three components of the third layer, which are the most superficial layers, influence the second layer, "intellectual truth-finding." Therefore, the most influential layer in intellectual education from the Quran's perspective is "the enlightenment of intellect".
