Relatives and friends are normally present when a person dies in the Islamic faith. There may be an expectation for the patient to say, or for a person to whisper in the ear of the patient, the central tenet of the Islamic faith, "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is His Prophet," so that these are the last words the person hears before death. According to Hinduism, the names of gods are quietly chanted at the funeral. Additionally, holy water, such as from the Ganges River, is poured into the mouth of the dying person. As an Islamic person nears death, relatives and friends do not silently pray on their knees at the patient's bedside.
