How do the two angels, Munkar and Nakir, question the deceased who does not speak Arabic, and in what language is he questioned? And will people of other religions – such as Christianity and Sabianism – be held accountable on the Day of Judgment for fasting, prayer, and hijab, the same as Muslims?
The questioning of the deceased by the two angels is among the unseen matters that must be believed in. No text has been reported that specifies the language in which they will question, and Allah is capable of creating a means of understanding between the deceased and the angels. As for the disbelievers, they are addressed by the ancillary rulings of the Sharia and will be held accountable for them, but their deeds will not be accepted from them except after belief.
