"Yunus was surely one of Our Rasools. He ran away to the laden ship; and when he took part in the casting of the lots, he lost and was then thrown into the sea. A whale swallowed him for he had become blameworthy. Had he not repented and become one of those who glorify Allah, he would certainly remained inside its belly till the Day of Resurrection. Then We cast him upon a desolate shore in a state of serious illness and caused a gourd plant to grow over him. We sent him to a nation of one thousand people or more. They believed in him so We permitted them to enjoy their life for awhile." Quran, As-SAffat, 37: 139-148
