PROPHET IS ALIVE IN THEIR GRAVE.. It is said that Ahlus-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah actually believes that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) did not die!! What a gross accusation!! The true belief of the Ahlus- Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah is that the Prophet (saw), did indeed TASTE death, but then he is made alive in his grave. (Note: All the proofs misused by certain people do prove that prophets including Rasool (saw) had tasted death. We do believe in all those verses and Ahadith, so there is no two opinions about that point but the point to be discussed here is not the occurrence of death but the true concept of the death of a Prophet) It is in the grave that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is presented with our deeds, and makes supplication on behalf of the Ummah. There are also instances where the Prophet (saw) will appear in our dreams and comfort us with good news and glad tidings. We also believe that to send salaam (salutations) to our Prophet (saw) is directly recieved by him and that It will be met with a reply. Quran States: And say not of those who are slain (martyred) in the way of Allah, “they are dead”, nay, they are living, though you perceive it not” [Surah al- Baqarah, 154] Imam Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (Allah have mercy on him) states in his monumental commentary of Sahih al-Bukhari i.e. Fath al-Bari: When the living of the martyrs is proven from the text of the Qur’an, then this is also proven from a analogical point of view. And the Prophets are superior then the martyrs [Fath al-Bari, Volume 006: Page No. 379] Qadhi Shawkawni writes: In the Quran it is mentioned that martyrs are alive and food is provided for them. The Prophets and righteous people are a lot higher in status than them so what will be their place? It has been proven through Ahadith that Prophets are alive in their graves. Both Imam at-Tirmidhi and Imam al- Bayhaqi have said that these are authentic Ahadith [Nayl al- Awtar, Volume 003, Page No. 82] Anas b. malik reported Allahs Messenger (saw) as saying: I came. And in the narration transmitted on the authority of Haddib (the words are):I happened to pass by Moses (as) on the occasion of the Night journey near the red mound (and found him) saying his prayer in his Grave. [Sahih Muslim Book 030, Number 5858:] Anas b. malik reported Allahs Messenger (saw) said:The Prophets are alive in their graves and praying References Bayhaqi, Hayat ul-Anbiyah, Page No. 003 Al-Albani, in Silsilat al-ahadith al-sahihah Volume 02, Page No. 187, Hadith Number 621 Imam Haytami, Majma Az Zawaid , Book : Kitab Feehi Zikar Al Ambiya (35) Chapter : Zikar Al Ambiya A.S Volume : 8 Page : 276 Hadith number : 13812 Narrated on the authority of Abu Darda: Allahs Messenger (saw) said, Invoke many blessings on me on Friday for it is witnessed. The angels are present on it, and no one will invoke a blessing on me without his blessing being submitted to me till he stops. I asked whether that applied also after his death, and he replied, Allah has prohibited the Earth from consuming the bodies of the prophets; so Allahs prophet is alive and given provision. [Sunan Ibn Maja Volume 001: Hadith Number 1627]
