Combining the death of the prophets and their presence in the sky

Question:
How do we reconcile the fact that Allah caused Adam, 'Isa, Ibrahim, Musa, and Idris to die, and then, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken on the Night Journey, he found them in the sky and prayed with them, as well as the statement of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "If I were in the Holy Land, I would show you the grave of Musa"?

Answer:
Yes, this is among the matters of the Hereafter, among the matters of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection), and among the matters of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah is able to represent the prophets with their souls and bodies, and for them to pray with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or behind the Prophet while they are dead. Allah is able (Glorified and Exalted is He), but they are dead. However, Allah represents their souls in their bodies, and they pray with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This is from the realm of the Hereafter and the realm of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah. Their life and their prayer are not like their prayer and life when they were in this world; rather, this is another matter among the matters of the Hereafter.
