Prophets

[alehislam]

are alive in Graves [hayat un anbiya]

Hadrat Sheikh ‘Abd al-Haq “Muhaddith-e-Dehwli” states under the commentary of the hadith that, Allah has forbidden the earth to “CONSUME THE BODIES OF PROPHETS AND THEY ARE ALIVE, GIVEN PROVISION [IBN MAJAH]:
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].Rather Sheikh Abdul Haq Muhadith dehlvi (rah) clarifies another important point, he states: The Prophets are alive and everyone believes that they are alive; there is no disagreement in this. Their life (in their graves)”IS REAL, PHYSICAL LIFE (LIKE THEY POSSESSED IN THE WORLD)” not like the martyrs whose life is only spiritual. [Ash’at al-Lam’at – Vol. 1 Pg. 574].So Life of Prophets is superior to martyrs, had life of Prophets been only Barzakhi then they would not have the special status, the life of Martyrs remains spiritual whereas life of Anbiya is “REAL” someone who does not believe that Prophets are superior to Martyrs then such a person is kafir.

Imam as-Subki (rah) narrates from Ibn Furaak (rah) in his Tabaqat that Prophet (ﷺ) is alive in his grave and “HE IS A PROPHET FOREVER” and this is based on “REALITY” not on “MAJAAZ”.. Imam Zarqani (rah) explains: The Prophet (ﷺ) is (Haqiqi Nabi) because he has “LIFE IN HIS GRAVE” and he offers prayer with Adhaan and Iqamah.

Ibn Aqeel al-Hanbli (rah) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) spends time with his wives and he combines with them in such a way which is better than worldly relation. “IBN AQEEL SAID THIS BY TAKING AN OATH AND THIS IS SOMETHING OBVIOUS AND THERE IS NOTHING ABSTAINING FROM IT” [Sharh al Zarqani ala Mawahib al-Laduniya of Imam Qastallani (Volume No. 8, Page No. 358)]

Alhamdulillah, Quran, Sunnah and great Islamic scholars establish the “HAQIQI” life of Anbiya in their graves, not just Barzakhi as some ignorant claim.

The life of the Prophet (ﷺ) in his grave, and also that of other Prophets is known to us as “definitive knowledge (ilman qat`iyyan)” the proofs regarding it are in “TAWATUR” .

Imam Baihaqi (rah) wrote a Juzz on Life of Anbiya in their graves, the proofs regarding it are such as 1) It is narrated in Sahih Muslim by Anas Ibn Malik (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I passed by Moses during my Night journey and saw him offering prayer in his grave, (2) It is narrtaed by Abu Nua’ym in his Hiliya from Ibn Abbas (ra) who heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: I passed by Moses and saw him standing in prayer, (3) It is narrated in Musnad of Abu Yal’a and by Baihaqi in his book “Hayat al Anbiya” from Anas (ra) that the Porphet (ﷺ) said: The Prophets are alive in their graves and praying [Imam Suyuti in Al Hawi lil Fatawi, Vol. 2, Page No. 264]

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)
