Abstrak

Contemporary education increasingly demands learning approaches that move beyond rote memorization toward deeper and more meaningful understanding. In Islamic education, this challenge involves integrating cognitive development with spiritual and ethical formation. This study aims to reconstruct deep learning in Islamic education by positioning meaningful learning grounded in spiritual values as its epistemological foundation. Employing a conceptual and analytical approach, this study synthesizes contemporary literature on deep learning, meaningful learning, and Islamic educational philosophy. The analysis indicates that deep learning functions as a meaning-oriented pedagogical framework that emphasizes reflective engagement, contextual understanding, and ethical awareness. Meaningful learning emerges as the core outcome, while spiritual values provide direction and purpose to the learning process. This framework offers a theoretical contribution to the development of holistic learning in Islamic education
