Question:
How do we respond to the grave-worshippers' doubt that the prophets did not die, citing the hadith of the Mi'raj when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to Moses and others?
Answer:
What Allah willed. Have you not read what Allah the Exalted said:[Az-Zumar 39:30] [Al-Anbya 21:35] Every soul shall taste [Al-Qasas 28:88] The presentation of the prophets to him was of the nature of a presentation of their souls; it was not a presentation of them being resurrected and coming as they are in this world. This is a prophetic miracle for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

Answer:
What Allah willed. Have you not read what Allah the Exalted said:
Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.
إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَEvery soul will taste death
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِEverything will be destroyed except His Face
كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُ
