This important to avoid the wrong approach and method of teaching. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a model of a characteristic Quranic teacher for the elderly. 21 questionnaire items were presented to experts in the field of the Quran and elderly were polled for their opinions using the Fuzzy Delphi method with a 7- point Likert scale. The results showed strong expert agreement on the criteria for the al-Quran teachers, ranked in order of priority: Sincerity, Patience, Caring, Commitment, Leniency, Good rapport, Maturity, Knowledge, Perception, Humility, Understanding of elderly psychology, Affability/Humour, Kindness, Empathy, Understanding of elderly age-related characteristics, Recognizing the needs of the elderly, Knowledge of mental, social, and physical difficulties of elderly, Communication skills, and teaching skills. This model can benefit teachers in guiding the elderly in learning the Quran and can also be useful in finding caregivers based on Islamic views.
