169 | Who are Munkir and Nakeer? | ||
When people leave the graveyard after having buried the dead, he hears the sound of their steps and then two Angels who are called "Munkir" and "Nakeer" enter the grave cleaving through the earth with their big teeth. They have dreadful appearance i.e. cauldron-like burning eyes and the whole body (from the head to the toe) covered with big hairs. They ask the dead in stern rebuke to sit and harshly question him. | |||
