Did the Prophets come back to life from their graves to pray when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in prayer in Jerusalem on the Night of Isra'?
It is authentically established in the that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, led the prophets in prayer during the journey of Al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj, and the most probable opinion is that the prayer took place in Jerusalem before the ascension. In detail, the life of the prophets is not subject to the laws of worldly life. Scholars have unanimously agreed that the prophets are alive in their graves, praying, and their life is more complete than that of the martyrs. As for how the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, met the prophets, the most probable view is that he met their souls, which took the form of their bodies, with the exception of Jesus, peace be upon him, who was raised with both his soul and body. The sight of the prophets in the heavens was of their souls depicted in the forms of their bodies, not of their buried physical bodies.
