This study aims to describe the implementation of the deep learning approach in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) instruction at SMK Negeri 1 Pringapus, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and analyze its impact on student understanding and engagement. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were gathered through interviews with PAI teachers, students, and school personnel, as well as through classroom observations. Informants were selected purposively based on their involvement in and relevance to the PAI instructional process. Data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the deep learning approach was implemented through planning tailored to learning objectives, subject matter, and student conditions. The implementation integrated meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning through discussions, question-and-answer sessions, case studies, problem-solving, and reflection. Supporting factors included teacher readiness, school support, learning facilities, and student engagement, while obstacles included variations in student characteristics and activity levels, as well as time constraints. The implementation demonstrated a positive contribution to students' understanding, active participation, critical and reflective thinking skills, and interest in PAI learning
