Holy Prophet (S.A.W) is Alive

Some people do not accept the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) to be alive. They
say that He is dead and mixed with the soil. Allahforbid!
The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamaat believes that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W)
is"Hayaatun Nabi", that is, He is alive both physically and
spiritually.
Regarding the Martyrs (Shuhada), Allah (S.W.T) mentions in the Holy
Quran: "And those who are killed for the cause of Allah do not call
them dead, Surely they are alive but you cannot perceive it." (Part 2,
Ayah 154)
Since it is evident from the Quran that the Martyrs, who are the
Umathi of the Prophet (S.A.W) are alive, then it follows that the
Ambiya (A.S) , whose status are much greater than that of the Martyrs,
are also alive.
Referring to the Messengers, Allah (S.W.T) says in the Holy Quran:
"And ask those of Our (Allah's) Rasools (Messengers), whom We sent
before you", 'Did We (Allah) appoint any other gods except Rahmaan
(the most Affectionate Allah) to be worshipped'?". (Part 25, Ruku 10 ,
Ayah 45)
This verse proves that the Ambiya (A.S) are alive because Allah
(S.W.T) commands us to ask the Messengers about all matters. If they
had passed away and mixed with the soil, surely, we would not have
been commanded to ask themabout anything. (Tafseer Dur Manthur;
Tafseer Roohul Muaani)
Another proof supporting that the Ambiya (A.S) are alive is that on
the night of Me'raj, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) passed by Hazrat Musa
(A.S) . He saw him in his grave standing and reading his Salaah.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said, "Recite Darood upon Me in abundance on
a Friday since it is a respected day.
On that day the Angels are present and whosoever sends Darood upon me
on thatday, then his Darood is placed before me till the time when
they have completed sending Darood and Salaam".
Hazrat Abu Dardah (R.A) says, "I asked, 'Huzoor! Will you even hear
(the Salaam) after your demise?'" The Prophet (S.A.W) said, "Verily
Almighty Allah has made it Haraam upon the earth to devour the bodies
of the Ambiya (A.S) . Thus, all the Nabis of Allah are alive and they
are given sustenance." (Ibn Majah; Mishkaat Shareef)
We learn from this Hadith Shareef that the Ambiya (A.S) are alive and
they have only been hidden from us.
We cannot understand their position, like those of the Angels (i.e.
that they are alive and present but we cannot see them). However those
who have been blessed by Allah (S.W.T) caneven see them
