I am about to embark on a piece of research where I hope to uncover 'core beliefs' and 'schemata' about God and other transpersonal phenomena among muslim participants. I I think that IPA would be a useful method to use in analysing my qualitative data, and the socratic method (especially the downward arrowing) is a standard technique used in accessing core beliefs. So, my question is: could I use the socratic method as my main interview technique and then use IPA as my data analysis method? Very much appreciate any comments or advice on this.
IPA is undoubtedly an excellent technique to analyse the qualitative data.

That sounds like an excellent two-pronged strategy to me. The Socratic method ensures accurate conveyance of religious belief, and IPA ensures objective analysis of qualitative data.
