Many Muslims while visiting the grave of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) make du’a to him directly. They believe the Prophet (peace be upon him) is alive and is able to answer them. But Allah says, “Every soul shall taste death.” (Qur’an, 3:185; 21:35) This verse refers to every soul, including that of the Prophet (peace be upon him). To argue that the Prophet (peace be upon him) is alive with a life akin to ours on earth is not based on any evidence or proof from the Qur’an and Sunnah. Instead the opposite is proved by the ahadith that describe his last days and final moments in this world.
