Does the Prophet come to the Dead?
Question :
Does the Prophet himself come to the dead, or does his image come to them?
Answer:
The coming of the Prophet or anyone else who has gone to his Lord is from among the matters of the unseen which are known to none except what has been established by the Revelation and conveyed to His creatures. Therefore it is not for anyone to go into the subject of the unseen except in accordance with a revealed text (i.e. from the Qur'an or the Sunnah) - and there is no evidence in the Qur'an or the Hadith that he comes to the dead, neither personally nor through his image. He will only assemble with the people on the Day of Resurrection, when they ask him to intercede for them with their Lord, in order to remove them from their situation, among other things which it is authentically reported are especially for him on the Day of Resurrection. And Allah is the Granter of success.
