And Jonah was indeed one of the messengers. ˹Remember˺ when he fled to the overloaded ship.

Then ˹to save it from sinking,˺ he drew straws ˹with other passengers˺. He lost ˹and was thrown overboard˺.

Then the whale engulfed him while he was blameworthy. Had he not ˹constantly˺ glorified ˹Allah˺,1

he would have certainly remained in its belly until the Day of Resurrection. But We cast him onto the

open ˹shore˺, ˹totally˺ worn out, and caused a squash plant to grow over him. We ˹later˺ sent him ˹back˺ to

˹his city of˺ at least one hundred thousand people, who then believed ˹in him˺, so We allowed them

enjoyment for a while. (SURAH SAFFAT AYAH 139-148)
