Is Prophet Mohammad(SAW) alive?
Answer:
Allah Says in the Quran
Allah! There is no god but He
(Alone), The Ever-Living, The Self-Subsisting Eternal.
QURAN[2:255]
Allah is alone & ever-living is an Exclusive Attributes
of Allah and Every creation has to perish one day
without exception. As
Allah Says in the Quran
And call not besides Allah on another god. There
is no god but He. Everything (that exists) will
perish, except His Own Face. To Him belongs the
Command and to Him will ye (all) be brought back. QURAN
[28:88]
Regardless of whether one in creation is a Prophet of
Allah or anyone else, Everything (that exists) will
perish,
However if any one beleaves that there is any creation
other than allah, who is ever living then with out any
doubt he will be doing a grave sin of shirk, as ever-
living is the one of the exclusive attributes of allah.
Like all prophets of Allah, prophet Mohammad(pbuh) was
also a human being & servent of allah, he(pbuh) was
having all the attributes of a human beings, he was
born like all the humans are born, and he died a
natural death. and his family and noble companions
buried him with honor in his grave after his death!
Allah says in the Quran
(O Prophet Mohamed (saws)) YOU SHALL DIE, and they too
shall die! Then on the Day of Resurrection, you all
will present your disputes before your Lord. QURAN
[39:30-31]
Allah says in the Quran
Mohamed is no more than a Messenger. Other Messengers
have already died before him. If then, he (saws) also
dies or is slain, will you turn about on your heels?
Remember, he who turns about on his heels, will do no
harm at all to Allah. Of course, Allah will duly
reward those who live as His grateful servants. QURAN
[3:144]
It is reported from Hadrat Aisha (r.a.) that
Allah's Messenger (saws) died while Hadrat Abu Bakr
(r.a.) was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya).
Hadrat Umar (r.a.) stood up and said, "By Allah!
Allah's Messenger (saws) is not dead!" Hadrat Umar
(r.a.) (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to
my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will
resurrect him (saws) and he will cut the hands and legs
of some men." Then Hadrat Abu Bakr (r.a.) came and
uncovered the face of Allah's Messenger (saws), kissed
him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed
for you, (O Allah's Messenger (saws)), you are good in
life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is,
Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then
he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be
hasty." When Hadrat Abu Bakr (r.a.) spoke, Hadrat Umar
(r.a.) sat down. Abu Bakr (r.a.) praised and glorified
Allah and said, “No doubt! Whoever worshipped
Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever
worshipped Allah, then Allah is alive and shall never
die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.: "(O
Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die."
(39.30) He also recited: “Mohamed is no more than
a Messenger. Other Messengers have already died before
him. If then, he (saws) also dies or is slain, will
you turn about on your heels? Remember, he who turns
about on his heels, will do no harm at all to Allah.
Of course, Allah will duly reward those who live as His
grateful servants.” (3.144)
Thus from the above guidance of allah it is clear that
prophet mohammad(pbuh) is not alive, & It is absolutely
against the principles of Islam to believe that Prophet
Mohamed (saws) or any other person is alive in his
grave, there can not be contact between the living
person and adead person in the grave, they can not
answer the supplications, they can not communicate.
Thus one should abstain all these belief if one really
fears Allah, may Allah guide us
And Allah alone knows the best.
