The two angels whose task it is to question the deceased are black and blue, and one is called al-Munkar and the other is called al-Nakir.

1. It is widely assumed that the name of the Angel of Death is ‘Azrail (Azrael), but there is nothing in the Quran or the Sunnah to indicate that this is his name. 2. Based on this, we cannot be certain whether this is his name or not. We should refer this matter to Allah and call him as Allah calls him, the ‘Angel of Death’.
