Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the primary and secondary school levels faces major challenges in addressing social phenomena among students, such as the rise of violence, intolerance, and the misuse of digital technology. Conventional one-way approaches are considered insufficient to engage students’ affective and spiritual dimensions. Therefore, innovative learning models that are adaptive and contextual are urgently needed by leveraging technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence based on deep learning. This study aims to examine and design strategies for developing deep learning–based PAI instruction that is relevant to implementation at the elementary, junior high, and senior high school levels, while also identifying the challenges and implications of its application within the Indonesian educational context. The research employed a qualitative approach using library research methods. Data were collected from a range of scientific literature, journal articles, and educational policy reports. Content analysis was conducted to identify key concepts, trends, and gaps in previous studies. The findings reveal that the integration of deep learning in PAI instruction can foster more personalized, adaptive, and reflective learning. Each educational level requires a different approach, ranging from interactive storytelling at the elementary level, adaptive content at the junior high level, to reflective chatbots at the senior high level. However, its implementation faces technical, ethical, and human resource challenges that are not yet evenly addressed. The development of deep learning–based PAI instruction has the potential to enhance learning effectiveness and support students in internalizing Islamic values more profoundly. This study recommends teacher training, the development of Islamic technology-based curricula, and cross-sectoral collaboration to realize religious education that remains relevant in the digital era
