Who Are Munkar and Nakir in Islam?

Assalamu alaikum! I've been reading up on different faiths to better understand them, and in my study of Islam, the angels Munkar and Nakir really caught my attention. Could someone explain who they are and their role? Jazakallahu khairan.

Sis, they are the two angels who question you in the grave. It's a serious thing, may Allah make it easy for us all.

Wa alaikum assalam! Yeah, Munkar and Nakir test the dead in the grave. Their questions are simple but only those who truly believed and did good will answer correctly. Scary reminder tbh.

Omg, just thinking about them gives me chills. They come after burial and ask about your Lord, religion, and prophet. Ya Rabb, forgive our sins.
