Q:
1. Is it correct to say that Nabi Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is alive with his body as his soul has been returned to his body?
2. Is it correct to say that he (صلی الله عليه وسلم) knows everything from Allah about the deeds, intentions and wishes of the people who come to visit him in Ar-Rawdah?
A:
1. Yes, it is correct as it is mentioned in the Hadith that the Ambiyaa are alive with their bodies and souls in their graves.
2. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has mentioned in his mubaarak hadith that those who visit my grave after my demise are like those who visit me in my lifetime. In other words, just as during his lifetime, when he was alive, he knew those who visited him and answered their salaam, similarly after leaving the world, he is alive in his grave and knows those who visit him and answers their salaam. As far as knowing the intentions of each person who comes to meet him, then if Allah Ta'ala informs him of their intentions, he will also know this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
