Imam Al-Ghazali views death as something to be grateful for because humans leave this mortal world and depart for eternal life. Humans must unite with death so that humans remember their existence in this world. Death is natural and certain. Death as a reminder, is expected to make humans aware and increase their spiritual level so that humans will feel calm in facing death. This study discusses the meaning of literary works of poetry. The method used is the semiotic analytic descriptive method. It is intended that poetry can be interpreted more intensively. The semiotic analysis used is Riffaterre's semiotic theory with four elements in it which include: 1) the study of indirect expressions, 2) heuristic and hermeneutic readings, 3) matrices, models, and variants, and 4) programs. The results of this study provide messages about favors, the happiness of life after death, gratitude, and good prejudice to Allah SWT. Because eternal happiness is waiting. Humans are in two choices, namely to do good or do bad, humans will be able to choose easily because they understand the nature of death, according to what has been explained in the poetry of Imam Al-Ghazali.
