Prophet Dhun-Nun or Yunus [Jonah (P.B.U.H.)]

PROPHET DHUN-NUN OR YUNUS [JONAH (P.B.U.H.)]
What Quran said about him?

Lo! Those for whom the word of your Lord (concerning sinners) has effect will not believe, • Though every token come unto them, till they see the painful doom. • If only there had been a community (of all those that were destroyed of old) that believed and profited by its belief as did the folk of Jonah! When they believed We drew off from them the torment of disgrace in the life of the world and gave them comfort for a while. • And if your Lord willed, all who are in the earth would have believed together. Would you (Muhammad) compel men until they are believers? • It is not for any soul to believe save by the Permission of Allah. He has set uncleanness upon those who have no sense.[Surah Yunus (Chapter of Jonah), Verses 96-100]

And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no Allah save you. Be you Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong-doer. • Then we heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus we save believers.[Surah Al-Anbiya (Chapter of the Prophets), Verses 87-88]

And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn) • When he fled unto the laden ship, • And then drew lots and was of those rejected; • And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy; • And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah) • He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised; • Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick; • And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him; • And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more • And they believed, therefore We gave them comfort for a while.[Surah Al-Saffat (Chapter of the Rangers), Verses 139-148]

But wait you for your Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair. • Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate. • But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous.[Surah Al-Qalam (Chapter of the Pen), Verses 48-50]
