The Prophets (Alayhim as-Salaam) are Alive

The Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jama'ah holds an obstinate belief that the Beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and all the blessed Prophets (Ala Nabiyyina wa Alayhim as-Salat wa as-Salam) are alive and it is firmly established through the authentic and explicit proofs. The life of Prophets (Ala Nabiyyina wa Alayhim as-Salat wa as-Salam) is spiritual, physical and worldly. They are as alive as they were alive in the world.

The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah, the Owner of Jannah (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) has stated:

إن الله حرم على الأرض أن تأكل أجساد الأنبياء فنبي الله حي يرزق

"The soil has been prohibited by Allah from consuming the bodies of the Prophets. The Prophets of Allah remain alive (after their apparent demise) and they are provided with Rizq (sustenance)".
