The Prophets in Barzakh

by Al-Sayyid Muhammad Ibn Alawi Al-Maliki

This scholarly work reveals the status of the Prophets, peace be upon them all, after their departure from this world. Based on solid evidence from the Holy Qur'an and authentic Hadiths, Sayyid Muhammad ibn 'Alawi al-Maliki clarifies the miraculous nature of the life of the Prophets in the Barzakh, the intermediate stage of life in the grave before Judgment Day, and refutes several erroneous beliefs that have spread among the Ummah today regarding these issues.

This seminal work derives its authenticity from a number of classical works. As the author states, the rigorous proofs in this book will "provide healing, Allah willing, for anyone in whose heart there is sickness."
