The Ruling on the Life of the Prophets and the Martyrs in Their Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, and we ask about it. A questioner says to me that one of my colleagues said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dreamed in his heart of a body and a soul, and I am a merciful person toward the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so I replied to him that whenever someone from his Ummah (community) sends him greetings, the prayer and peace upon him are continuous and uninterrupted.
Answer:
This is not fear of Islam, but rather the martyrs; Allah is the Greatest that they are alive. Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:169] Yes. This disagreement means that they are provided for by their Lord. And Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:154] You disbelieve in the one who did not know that, in his right, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is alive. There is no report to that effect, but if this applies to the martyrs, then the prophets are all the more so. If Allah mentioned that the martyrs are alive in their graves, then the prophets are all the more so, alive in their graves. But this is the life of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection), my brothers. The life of the barzakh in the matters of the Hereafter is like their life in this world. And therefore, the wives of the martyrs may remarry, and their inheritances are not withheld, except that Allah is the Greatest. Their wives may remarry and their inheritances are not withheld, so in this world they are considered dead, and the rulings of the dead are applied to them. But with Allah, and in His knowledge, I testify that it is so, and likewise the messengers (peace and blessings be upon them). That is, they do not descend or become absent.
As for this world, they died (peace and blessings be upon him). They died as others die and were buried as others are buried. So from the perspective of this world, they are dead. From the perspective of the Hereafter, they are alive. There is a difference between the two lives: the life of this world and the life of the Hereafter. Yes.

Answer:
This is not fear of Islam, but rather the martyrs; Allah is the Greatest that they are alive. Allah the Exalted said:
And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌAnd do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but
وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَٰكِن لَّاAs for this world, they died (peace and blessings be upon him). They died as others die and were buried as others are buried. So from the perspective of this world, they are dead. From the perspective of the Hereafter, they are alive. There is a difference between the two lives: the life of this world and the life of the Hereafter. Yes.
