Prophet Yunus (a)
The prophet Yunus
was sent to Ninevah.
He became known as the
Lord of the Fish (Dhan-Nun).
He warned the people about
their evil ways and told them
to follow Allah but they
would not listen.

Yunus was so angry he left.
He sailed away but the ship
was so full and heavy,
poor Yunus
was thrown
overboard.
He was
swallowed by an
enormous fish and he
lived in its belly
for three days.
Then the fish spewed
him out on a shore.
He was very ill but
Allah was protecting him.
A plant grew
and its leaves protected
Yunus from the sun and
kept the flies away.
A wild goat provided him
with milk. When he became
better he went back to
Ninevah and gave the
people Allah's message
once more. This time
the people listened
and Allah forgave them.
