Belief in the prophets’ life in the barzakh does not deny their death. Rather, a real, distinctive post-death life is affirmed, whose modality differs from ordinary worldly life.
Reports concerning their prayer in the graves, response to greetings, and the presentation of blessings are discussed in relation to this distinctive life. It must not simply be equated in every respect with normal earthly bodily activity.
Affirming life and recognizing a different mode of life are compatible claims.
