Yunus and the Whale
The Prophet Yunus, peace be upon him, leaves his people too soon and ends up inside a great fish in the dark sea. From the darkness he calls out to Allah and says sorry, and Allah rescues him. The story teaches us that Allah hears us everywhere.
From the StoryLike every messenger, Yunus called his people to worship Allah alone, the One who made them and everything around them. Being a messenger is a very big job. A messenger keeps calling people to what is good, even when it is hard, and even when people do not listen straight away.
