Prophet Yunus a.s
The real name of Prophet Yunus a.s is Yunus bin Mata or Zun Nun. He is a noble Prophet sent by Allah SWT to his people. He advised them and guided them to the path of truth and goodness; he reminded them of the horrors of the Day of Judgment and threatened them with hell and promised them paradise; His Majesty commanded them with kindness and invited them to worship only Allah SWT.Prophet Yunus a.s. always advises his people but there is no one who believes among them. It came one day to Prophet Yunus where he felt the decision of his people. His heart was filled with anger towards his people because they did not believe. Then he went out in a rage and decided to leave them. Allah SWT tells about it in His words:
" And (remember the story of) Zun Nun (Yunus), when he left in a state of anger, then he thought that We would not narrow it (make it difficult) so he called out in a very dark state: ' There is no god but You, Glory be to You. Indeed, I am among the unjust." (Surah al-Anbiya' verse 87)
No one knows the inner feelings of Prophet Yunus a.s. other than Allah SWT. Prophet Yunus a.s. quite angry with his people because of their refusal to believe in Allah SWT. In such a situation, he left his people.
Prophet Yunus a.s Swallowed by the Whale.
His Majesty went to the seaside and boarded a ship that could transport
him to another place. Allah SWT has not issued His decision to tell His
Majesty to leave his people. Nabi Yunus a.s. thought that Allah SWT
could not punish him because he left his people. At that time Prophet
Yunus a.s. seem to forget that a prophet is ordered only to preach in
the way of Allah SWT. Taufik and guidance are the right of Allah SWT to
be given to whomever He wills. So, his duty is only to preach in the way
of Allah SWT and completely leave the problem of success or not to Allah
SWT alone.
