Prophet Jonas (Yunus A.S.)

The prophet Yunus was sent to Nineveh. 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 that he left Nineveh. He sailed away but the ship was so full and heavy. Poor Yunus was thrown off board.   He was swallowed by an enormous fish, a whale and he lived in its belly for three days. Then the fish spat him out onto the 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 Nineveh and gave the people Allah's message once more. This time the people listened and Allah forgave them.
