Prophet Yunus [Jonah] (Peace be upon him)

Prophet Yunus [Jonah] (Peace be upon him)

Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him).

Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) was sent as a prophet to the city of Nineveh. You were sent to the people of Thamud. People of this nation used to worship idols. When you used to call people to the truth and exhort them to believe in God alone, but people would reject your teachings and say to Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) that we do not believe in your God, he would say to him that fear the punishment of God. Which is a very severe punishment. People would listen to your words and make fun of you and put obstacles in your way. He made many efforts to bring the people of Thamud to the right path, but his advice did not have any effect on the lost people, so he was sure that these people will not believe in God. you are disappointed, In a state of despair, he cursed the destruction of the nation of Thamud and left this land. As he walked, he reached the bank of the Euphrates River and saw that a boat was standing on the bank. People were boarding it. After that, the boat left for its destination, the sea was calm and clear, and the passengers were sitting comfortably. When the boat reached the middle of the sea, they saw that dark clouds were rising in the sky, then the wind started blowing, and it became a storm. The boat began to waver in the Hasmandar, the waves of the sea started to rise and fall and the rain also started. One of the passengers sitting in the boat said that it is known that there is a person in the boat who has committed a big mistake, unless such a person is removed from the boat, the boat can't remain safe. It's hard to tell who a person is unless they introduce themselves. Upon this, Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) stood up and said I am the one who has committed a big mistake. He expressed his mistake in front of everyone. Then everyone said with one voice that I am an angelic human being, we cannot remove him from the boat under any circumstances. We will throw him out of the boat, so the lots were drawn, but the name of Yunus came out. People were not satisfied with this process. Then the lot was drawn and Yunus' name came out. In this way, the bull was repeated again and again. Every time this happened, Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) said, "I am disobedient to my Lord. This is also the order of God. Put me in the river and the lives of all the passengers will be saved." Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) repeatedly told the passengers of the boat and the mulatto that they were ready to jump from the boat because they did not wait for the command of Allah.

Finally, the boat passengers and the sailor agreed and threw Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) into the river. A fish in the river moved towards Hazrat Yunus and went away. Which has to be returned, so you stayed in the darkness in the belly of the fish, kept mentioning Allah and asking for forgiveness. You were calling:

"O Allah, there is no god worthy of worship except You, Allah is so pure that I have wronged me, I am one of the wrongdoers." God has heard your call. You are safe in the belly of the fish. It came out of the stomach of the fish, it was very weak and emaciated. He breathed the open air and thanked Allah 1. Allah, Hz. To Yunus: "If you had not declared my purity in the belly of the fish, you would not have achieved salvation." Where the fish swallowed you, there was no tree, no shade, only sunlight. The heat was also unbearable. By the command of Allah, a vine plant grew there. The shade came from the vine of the plant. You sat down and began to chant Allah. It is said to be a deer She would come and give her milk. Allahu Teala says: "We put it on the ground without grass, it was love, we finished the vine and sent it to a hundred thousand people. 

Rather, even more, people believed in him. After leaving the country of Nineveh, your people will miss you very much. After his departure, people began to regret, people realized that he was a prophet and had come for guidance, people asked for forgiveness from Allah and they began to wait for the arrival of Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him). People admitted that they Believe in Allah and also that Yunus (peace be upon him) is a prophet sent by Allah. And believe in the message you bring. And they confirm Yunus (peace be upon him) and the people of the nation said to each other that if Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) comes among us, we will all start paying homage to him and meet at his command. Allah ordered Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) to go to the people and convey the message of Allah and stop them from evil and call them to goodness. Therefore, when he returned to his people on the command of Allah, the people expressed their happiness and thanked Allah for his return. After returning, Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) started preaching and instructed him to stay away from bad deeds, help the needy, feed the hungry, clothe the warriors, and not misbehave with anyone.
