Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) is a necessity for teachers and students today. But, HOTS applications often referred to the western worldview. However, studies had shown some elements found in the Qur'an that can lead to the HOTS approach and one of them is tadzakkur. Tadzakkur is a very proximate element to an Islamic Education teacher (IET) and becomes a practice in IET’s teaching. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to introduce a tadzakkur approach which should be addressed by the teachers especially IETs. Using a qualitative method through document analysis, some papers, articles and books were analysed. The findings showed that tadzakkur approach is a very relevant and appropriate approach and must be implemented seriously by IETs to produce the rabbani and ta'dib generation.
