The Life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in His Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it true that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is alive in his grave?
The Shaykh:
Yes, he is alive with the life of the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection). The martyrs—Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has informed us that they are alive—but it is the life of the barzakh, not a life like that of the people in this world. It is the life of the barzakh, meaning the life of the grave. The messengers are greater than the martyrs, so they are more deserving of this life. Yes, in their graves. Yes.
The questioner:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family.
