Yunus' Story

His story is recounted in (chapter) 37 of the Quran, verses 139 through 148. The English translation below was done by Abdullah Yusuf Ali.:139 So also was Yunus among those sent (by Us). :140 When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden, :141 He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned::142 Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.:143 Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah, :144 He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. :145 But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness, :146 And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind. :147 And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.:148 And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
