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.
