Abstract
Death has been a scourge for humans so far. The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of death and its relevance to the meaning of human life according to Komaruddin Hidayat. This research is a qualitative research using a library research approach. The results show that Komaruddin Hidayat views death and life as being in an unbroken straight line, death does not mean the completion of the journey of human life, but the transition of the dimensions of nature and time. Death is also not a sign of the bankruptcy of life, but a stage of metamorphosis towards the perfection of a higher life. Understanding the meaning of death has implications for the meaning of human life which is realized by practicing Islam in daily life, namely obedience, submission, and longing for Allah Swt. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that the contemplation of death becomes a human motivation for religion as a way of giving meaning to life and giving meaning to others.
