The Story of Yunus

Allah tells,

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ



And verily, Yunus was one of the Messengers.

We have already discussed the story of Yunus, peace be upon him, in Surah Al-Anbiya' (21;87-88)

It is not right for any person to say I am better than Yunus bin Matta.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ
