Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has been veiled from this world, so how can he help those in need? Then remember! All Prophets of Allah Almighty are alive in their resting places!

A’la Hazrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and all of the Noble Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام are alive in the truest essence, in the same manner they walked upon the earth with, with both body and soul. They offer Salah within their resting places, and are given sustenance. They are able to go wherever they want, and have control over the kingdom of the heaven and earth. The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: The Prophets are alive in their graves and offer Salah. (Majma’ Al-Zawa`id, vol. 8, p. 386, Hadith 13812; Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 14, p. 675) In another blessed Hadith, it is stated: Indeed, Allah Almighty has made it Haraam upon the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام. The Prophets of Allah عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام are alive, and they are given sustenance. (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 2, p. 291, Hadith: 1637) Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: The Prophets of Allah عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام have permission to leave their resting places and to exercise authority over the skies and earth. (Al-Haawi Lil-Fatawa, vol. 2, p. 263; Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 14, pp. 90-685)

Dear Islamic brothers! From the aforementioned blessed Ahadith and the explanation of the honourable scholars, we come to know that not only is the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the other Noble Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام alive in their graves, but they are given sustenance, can travel to anywhere they desire, and have authority in the affairs of the skies and earth.

Let us now listen to an account of how the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم fulfilled the need of his Ummati and relieved their hardship even after his physical passing:

Shaykh Ahmad Bin Nafees رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: Once, in a state of extreme hunger in Madina-tul-Munawwarah, I presented myself at the
