Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh  
The anbiyā, martyrs and close servants of Allah Ta’ala are alive in their graves. However, their life is different from the life of the living.  It is incorrect to believe that the awliyā (friends of Allah Ta’ala) have the ability to accept people’s prayers etc. It is also incorrect to ask ones needs directly from the deceased.
