All the Prophets ( Alaihimus
Salat was Salam ) are still alive, with bodily and worldly lives, as if
they were alive upon the Earth. (Here one must recall the event of Miraj
journey, in which our Holy Prophet (SaIl Allahu Ta'ala Alaihi Wa Sallam),
saw Prophet Musa (Alaihis Salam) performing Salat in his grave, our Holy
Prophet (Sall Allahu Ta'ala Alaihi Wa Sallam), led Salat as an Imam in AI-Aqsa
Masjid. All the previous Prophets (Salat was Salam) were behind him. Then
in the Heavens, our Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu Ta'ala Alaihi Wa Sallam),
saw and met with many of them. Especially Prophet Musa (Alaihis Salam),
when he met our Prophet (Sall Allahu Ta'ala Alaihi Wa Sallam), in the Heav
ens; he requested many times to our Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu Ta'ala
Alaihi Wa Sallam), to go back to Allah Ta' ala and get the numbers of
Salats reduced). The Prophets die only for an instant, so that they hide
from the eyes of the people. They perform Salah and take meals in their
graves, perform Hajj, participate in the gathering, and go wherever they
like. He who says that after their death, their body are spoiled, is
sinful and a disbeliever. He who accuses our Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu
Ta'ala Alaihi Wa Sallam), of saying that, 'after he is dead, one day, his
body would be spoiled', such a person is particularly sinful. To proclaim
such a belief, is to provoke many more curses of Allah Ta'ala.

After the Excellence of
Allah Ta'ala, the virtue of the Prophets (Alaihimus Salam) are, in the
whole world, greater than the merits of a father, a brother, or a king. It
has no share in the greatness of the Prophets (Alaihimus Salam). The
impious man, who considers his father as his brother and pays him respect
equal to his brother, is disrespectful. He is more unfortunate than the
manikin, who says that the Supreme Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (Sall Allahu
Ta'ala Alaihi Wa Sallam), is just like an elder brother, and respects him
as such, he is daring, insolent, and a follower of Satan. How can such a
person become a younger brother of Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (Sall Allahu
Ta'ala Alaihi Wa Sallam), without proof! Such a person has lost his Iman
by saying these demeaning words.
