Munkar and Nakir in Islamic eschatology, are angels who test the faith of the dead in their graves. These angels are described as having solid black eyes, having a shoulder span measured in miles, carrying hammers "so large, that if all of mankind tried at once to move them a single inch, they would fail"; when they speak, tongues of fire come from their mouths. If one answers their questions incorrectly, one is beaten every day, other than Friday, until Allah gives permission for the beating to stop. Muslims believe that after a person dies, his soul passes through a stage called barzakh, where it exists in the grave; the questioning will begin when the burial is over. Nakir and Munkar prop the deceased soul upright in the grave and ask three questions: Who is your Lord? What is your religion? What is your faith about this person? Who made you aware of this? A righteous believer will respond saying that their Lord is Allah, that Muhammad is their prophet and that their religion is Islam. If the deceased answers the time spent awaiting the resurrection is pleasant and may enter heaven.

Those who do not answer as described above are chastised until the day of judgment. There is belief that the fire which represents the own bad deeds can be seen in Barzakh, that the spiritual pain caused by this can lead to purification of the soul. Muslims believe that a person will answer the questions not by remembering the answers before death but by their iman and deeds such as salat and shahadah. Munkar and Nakir bear some similarity to Zoroastrian divinities; some of these, such as Mithra and Rashnu have a role in the judgement of souls. Rashnu is described as a figure. E. G. Brown has suggested that a continuity exists between Munkar and Nakir. A mythical figure in Mandaean religion, Abathur Muzania is similar to Rashnu, he holds the same position in the world of the dead, holds a set of scales. Muzania means scales in Aramaic. According to recent research and Nakir are astrological figures and a transformation of the Mesopotamian astral god Nergal. Aksoy shows in his new research that the Mesopotamian god Nergal has the same characteristics as Munkar and Nakir.

He begins with Nakru, an epithet of Nergal and means'enemy'. The Assyrian nakru, like the names Munkar and Nakir, comes from the same root, from the proto-Semitic NKR; some scholars use a different spelling. Which is the same as Nakir. Moreover, Nergal is a lord of the grave. Like Munkar and Nakir, he has a terrifying voice that can cause panic among gods, he holds a shining mace and his breath can burn his enemies. Because he is related to fire most scholars suggest that he was a sun god. Furthermore, he is identified with the celestial twins in the Babylonian astral mythology which forms a direct link to Munkar and Nakir. There is no reference to Nakir in the Quran, their names are first mentioned by Tirmidhi in the hadith tradition. Tirmidhi is known to have visited Iraq; this suggests that the names of Munkar and Nakir are introduced to Islamic beliefs during an early stage in the Islamization of Mesopotamia. The Mesopotamians still believed in the sun god Shamash, as well as Nergal and several other Babylonian gods at the time Islam was introduced.

Thus, Nergal the god of the Underworld, symbolized by the planet Mars, is a possible prototype for Munkar and Nakir. Astrologically and Nakir share more clues in their Martian characteristics which connect them to Nergal. Barzakh Dumah Punishment of the Grave Nergal Zabaniyya

PukiWiki is wiki software written in PHP, is used by Japanese wikis. It was forked from YukiWiki developed by Yuuki Hiroshi. Since version 1.4, PukiWiki Development Team became the developer of the software. The support for DBCS of PukiWiki is wider than most wiki software, due to its origination in Japan. Due to the heavy use of mobile phones for browsing the web in Japan, PukiWiki have a layout optimized for mobile use. PukiWiki can run on PHP 4, 5 or 7, it supports interwiki extensions, similar to MediaWiki. PukiWiki is written such that it uses PHP with a series of text files, hence does not require a database to operate, does not support databases natively. However, support could be added through extensions for MySQL, SQLite, Oracle Oci8 and PostgreSQL. XpWiki - Developed by nao-pon and forked from PukiWiki version 1.4.7, aims at integration with XOOPS. PukiWiki Mod - Also developed by nao-pon with the same goal, but forked from version 1.3.x instead. PukiWiki Plus! - Derivative version with enhanced localization features.
