Prophets Are Alive-Imams Qari
“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
Prophets
[alehislam]
are alive in Graves [hayat un anbiya]
9. Mullah Ali Qari on
Hadhir o Nadhir: [And he (Nuh) shall reply, ‘Muhammad and his Community’] This
means that his Community is witness while he vouches for them, but his mention
came first out of reverence (للتعظيم). It
not Ba’eed (i.e. impossible) that the Prophet (ﷺ) is himself witness for Nuh, since it is a
context of help and Allah Most High said [When Allah made (His) convenant
with the Prophets] until He said [you shall believe in him and you shall help
him] (3:81). In this there is a remarkable warning that the Prophet (ﷺ) “IS PRESENT AND WITNESSING” in the Greatest
Inspection (وفيه تنبيه نبيه
أنه حاضر ناظر في ذلك العرض الأكبر), when the Prophets are brought, Nuh
being the first, and the latter’s witnesses are brought, namely, this
Community. [Mirqat al-Masabih Sharah Mishqat, Mullah Ali Qari Volume 010, Page
No. 210, Published by Dar al-Kutub al-ILmiyah]
10. Mullah Ali al-Qari
said in his commentary on ash-Shifah: “Meaning, because his (ﷺ) soul, is present in the house of the Muslims. [Mullah Ali Qari, Sharah ush-Shifah, Volume
002, Page No. 117]
11. Imam al Khafaji
(rah) the author of Sharh ash-Shifa writes:The prophets are alive in their
graves living the ‘real’ life which they had in this world. [Naseem ur
Rayaadh: Vol. 1 Pg. 196]Also, one of the major incidents that prove this, is the
incident of Me’raj (Ascension of the Prophet ﷺ to the heavens), where he met and conversed
with many Prophets. He also led them in prayer in Masjid al-Aqsa.
Imam Sakhawi (rah) the
Great student of Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Hajr Asqalani (rah) writes:
Abu Zar and Malik’s Hadith on Miraj proves that Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) met group of Prophets (ﷺ) on sky, You (ﷺ) talked to them and they (ﷺ) talked to You (ﷺ),
this all is sound (sahih) and their is no confusion about it any where,
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw Musa (ﷺ) and others in graves offering Salah, then He (ﷺ) saw Musa (ﷺ) and other Prophets (ﷺ) at Bayt-ul-Muqadas, then Holy Prophet (ﷺ) was taken to the skies, then Prophet (ﷺ) also saw them in the skies just as Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) saw them IN THE
GRAVES so does the presence of Prophets (ﷺ) at those places was logical after they died. [al-Qoul al-Badi, Page No. 92]
Hadrat Sheikh ‘Abd
al-Haq “Muhaddith-e-Dehwli” states under the commentary of this Hadith that:The
Prophets of Allah are alive in their graves, “JUST AS THEY WERE ALIVE IN THE
WORLD“[Ash’at al-Lam’at – Vol. 1 Pg. 576]
Imam al Khafaji (rah)
the author of Sharh ash-Shifa writes: The prophets are alive in their graves
living the ‘real’ life which they had in this world. [Naseem ur Rayaadh:
Vol. 1 Pg. 196]
As a matter of fact
that great scholars like Sheikh ul Islam as-Subki (rah), Imam al-Qastallani
(rah) and others accepted that Prophets are alive in reality and not
metaphorically.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
