==== In the grave ==== According to Sunni doctrine, people are questioned in their graves by [[Munkar and Nakir]] after death.<ref name="Aqīda 1995"/> Munkar and Nakīr are two terrifying, huge figures who let the person sit upright in his grave with mind and body and then tell him about the oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad. They ask him: "Who is your master? What is your religion? Who is your prophet?". They are the two inspectors of the grave and their questioning is the first test (''fitna'') of humans after death.<ref name="Gazali10877"/> The believer will answer to this test: "God is my Lord, Islam is my religion and Mohammed is my prophet." The doubter, on the other hand, will answer: "Oh dear, I don't know. I heard people say something, and that's how I said it." He is then hit with an iron club so that he utters a loud scream that can be heard by everyone except people and jinn. If people heard him, they would lose consciousness.<ref>Ibn Taimīya: '' al-ʿAqīda al-Wāsiṭīya ''. 1999, p. 95. – German transl. Wein p. 87.</ref> Children are also interviewed by Munkar and Nakīr as well as people who have disappeared, drowned or were eaten by predatory animals.<ref>an-Nasafī: ''ʿUmdat ʿAqīdat ahl as-sunna wa-l-ǧamāʿa''. 1843, p. 25</ref> Deceased Muslims receive the [[Dua|supplication]] said for them, and the [[Sadaqa]] spoken in their name are a favor for them.<ref name = "Aschari29660" />
