Is Muahmmed's Resting Place in Medina?

Salaams Dear Taj, all,
You can answer this the BEST.
Is prophet Isa Dead ,it says somewhere all souls will taste death,or was he taken to heaven alive and is he going to return?
If Dead as ,has been proved and from the quran alone by some one other then me(i have a reasoned argument to this effect) - What is the empty coffin next to the prophets coffin doing there?!.
And if one coffin is a LIE, then surely the other is such, Thanks .

Answer the best to what!? The Ahadeeth in your post? Are you serious!? I don't buy them, of course!Is prophet Isa Dead ,it says somewhere all souls will taste death,or was he taken to heaven alive and is he going to return?
The answer to that is found in . The Arabic word in that Aya which is used to mean when Allah ends the life of someone = tawaffaytanee, was used by Prophet Easa. Translators have their own opinions about it.

To me it looks like the life of Prophet Easa on Earth did reach an end.If Dead as ,has been proved and from the quran alone by some one other then me(i have a reasoned argument to this effect) - What is the empty coffin next to the prophets coffin doing there?!.
Prophet Muhammad (P&PBUH) was not buried in a coffin = Taboot = casket.What is the empty coffin next to the prophets coffin doing there?!.
I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry!Taj

Salaams Taj,
i asked you "is he going to return,prophet isa?"if not then of course the quistion was , why have they placed the empty coffin in the prophets mosque for P.Isas return.
But you have said Prophet has died , So the empty coffin for Prophet Isa in the prophets mosque has no use as prophet isa will not be coming back.
If the empty coffin is based on the lie ,prophet isa returning ,then surely what does the prophet Muhammads coffin contain?Not prophet muhammad surely?just a reasoned out argument nothing more.
Sorry for the not making it clear before.
Thanks.
Salaams.

I have never heard about the coffins thing before, because Muslims don't even use coffins to begin with! From where did you get that story?
But I will ask around nevertheless!
But you do mean by the coffin a casket, don't you?I just asked about the resting place of Our Prophet Muhammad and the answer was, there is no coffins inside the chamber. There are three graves, one for Muhammad (P&PBUH), the second is for AboBakr and the third is for Omar. No open coffins or anything of the sort! That is something no one has heard of, it seems! And Prophet Easa is not even in the picture!!!

Salaams Taj,
mind you i have been to medina on a number of occasions,four to be exact, and with different peoples and all i have to date - the information is/was there are the three graves you mentioned plus an empty place for jesus when he comes back to earth he will be buried there,but i am not sure whether this is a belief ,now ,of the majority as you arn't aware of this.May be someone other could shed light on this - who knows more.
Thanks.
Salaam.

Wallahe I am surprised by what you say. I don't know how you could get inside, because the chamber is 'tightly' closed. It is not an open place where you can see what's in there and point to this or that. It's like walls behind walls and those who got to get inside are very few, the Sadanah (the keepers) of the chamber and some Presidents!
And I did ask about Prophet Easa and the answer was negative; nothing of what you say regarding a coffin or the return of Easa and that there is a place reserved for his burial! However I will keep asking whenever the occassion allowed!Anyway, thanks and
Peace!Taj

Salaams Taj,
i think you probably havn't been around that long ,until about 1984 (the first time i went) you could get close and peep inside and see the raised graves as i remember they were about 5 teet high and to my knowledge there is a space for another grave on the left when facing the tomb,they had a green shroud on the graves with some writing.They have only put the barackade aound as people use to kiss the cage and throw notes,letters inside it.And now you are quite afar so you can't touch the metal cage.But when you come up with more info ,share it.
Thanks ,Salaams.

Peace be upon you,
To the question "Is Muhammads resting place in Medina?" my answer is Muhammad who?
If you mean a man named Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, then I have no clue as I did not witness such a man, nor witness the burial of such a man.
If you mean "muhammad" of the reading(quran), then I say NO, Muhammad is not a specific man, it is the characteristic of one who is appreciative of the God and His system. This description NEVER dies.

Peace Idolfree,
I was just wondering why none of the messengers in the Quran had their last names mentioned ( like ibn abdullah). This is obviously something purposeful, God doesn't do things in vain. To me your understanding seems to make sense as an explanation for this.Peace
