Jonah in Islam Jonah (Yunus in Arabic) is highly important in Islam as a prophet who was faithful to God and delivered His messages. In Islam, ﺫﻭ Jonah is also called Dhul-Nun (Arabic: ; meaning The One of the Whale). ﺍﻟﻨﻮﻥ Chapter 10 of the Qur'an is named Jonah, although in this chapter only verse 98 refers to him directly. It is said in Muslim tradition that Jonah came from the tribe of Benjamin and that his father was Amittai Jonah is the only one of the Twelve Minor Prophets of the Hebrew Bible to be mentioned by name in the Qur'an. Jonah and the fish Jeremiah in wilderness Uzeyr awakened after the destruction of Jerusalem

יונה מושלך מספינה ישר לתוך לועו של דג גדול כאשר דגים קטנים ואיש עירום שוחים מסביב Jonah's Qur'anic narrative is extremely similar to the Hebrew Bible story. The Qur'an describes Jonah as a righteous preacher of the message of God but a messenger who, one day, fled from his mission because of its overwhelming difficulty. The Qur'an says that Jonah made it onto a ship but, because of the powerfully stormy weather, the men aboard the ship suggested casting lots to throw off the individual responsible for this supposed 'bad luck'. When the lots were cast, Jonah's name came out, and he was thrown into the open ocean that night. A gigantic fish came and swallowed him, and Jonah remained in the belly of the fish repenting and glorifying God to the maximum. As the Qur'an says: והדג יונה - הקוראן סיפורי קוראן - א קיסס , צרפת של הלאומית הספריה , מאוייר יד כתב 1581 , פריז So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us). When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden, He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned: Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame. Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah, He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. —Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 139 -144

God forgave Jonah out of His mercy and kindness for the man, and because he knew that Jonah was, at heart, one of the best of men. Therefore, the fish cast Jonah out onto dry land, with Jonah in a state of sickness. Thus, God caused a plant to grow where Jonah was lying to provide shade and comfort for him. After Jonah got up, fresh and well, God told him to go back and preach at his land. As the Qur'an says: But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness, And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind. And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more. And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while. —Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 145 -148 הדג מקיא את יונה : ( )מכלול דברי הימים ג`אמי אל תואריך המושלך על החוף עירום מפיו של דג , מלאך נותן בגדים ליונה
