Allah Most High says, “And do not say about those who are martyred in the way of Allah that, 'they are dead', no, they are alive, but you are not aware.” [Quran 2.154]
concerning this verse Imam Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (Allah have mercy on him) states in his monumental commentary of Sahih al-Bukhari, ‘Fath al-Bari’:
“When the living of the martyrs is proven from the text of the Qur’an, then this is also proven from a analogical point of view- the Prophets are superior to the martyrs” (Fath al-Bari, 6/379).
Our Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) has also informed us that “The Prophets are alive in their graves performing prayers.”(Bayhaqi – Hayatul Ambiya).
Allaahu ta'aala a'lam. (Allaah Almighty knows best.)
