as salaam ma alaykam
well the Prophet (saw) is dead, lets get it straight he was human,
however we also know, that Prophets (as) pray in their graves, and thats the status and right givin to them by Allah (swt) somethin we cant comprehend, thats the miracle of Allah (swt) somethin of the ghayb and we dont dwell too much into it cos we dont know it
, so he is alive in his grave, and in the life of barzakh, but in this life that we are livin he isnt alive!
because my daleel..... surah az zumar v30
“Verily, you (O Muhammad) will die, and verily, they (too) will die”
and in bukhari the bootifull Hadhrat Abu Bakr siddiq (ra) says " he who worshipped Muhammad (saw) let him know he is dead, however he who worships Allah (swt) let him know that Allah (swt) always lives"
so are we gona say Abu Bakr (ra) made a mistake or he sinned ... NO WE NOT! end of argument
the only people who actually stress this argument are the ones who have their own agenda and make up stories of the Prophet (saw) comin to their gatherins, where they have music and spin in circles
, and im sure any sane minded person can tell this is a LIE!!
