YUNUS ‘ALAYHIS SALAAM INSIDE A WHALE'S BELLY!!
When Yunus ‘alayhis salaam jumped into the sea, ALLAH commanded a BIG WHALE to swallow him fully and not harm him even a little as ALLAH wanted Yunus ‘alayhis salaam to repent from the mistake and see ALLAH'S miraculous power.
Qura'an mentions-
"Then the fish swallowed him, because he (Yunus ‘alayhis salaam) did an act worthy of blame." ( 37:142)
When Yunus ‘alayhis salaam opened his eyes, he realised that he was alive inside the whale's belly.
Soon, he fell in PROSTRATION in a place where no one had ever prostrated and he begged forgiveness from ALLAH.
Qur'aan mentions-
"And (remember) Dhun-Noon when he went off in anger and imagined that We shall not punish him!
But he cried through the darkness (saying):
La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntum minaz zalimeen (none has the right to be worshipped but you, O ALLAH, Glorified and truly I have been of the wrongdoers)"
☆ This is the reason why Yunus ‘alayhis salaam is also called Dhan-Noon which means "the man of the fish"
☆ There were 3 extreme stages of darkness.
One was the darkness of night, second was the darkness of the depth of sea and third was the darkness of whale's belly.
☆The duration of Yunus ‘alayhis salaam in the whale's belly is not mentioned in any sahih hadith.
[ Yunus ‘alayhis salaam ke samundar mei jane ke baad ALLAH ne ek BADI MACHLI ko hukum diya ke wo unko poora ka poora nigal le aur kuch bhi nuksaan na de take unka nek banda apne gunah se ruju karle aur ALLAH ki azmat dekhe.
Aur aisa hi hua ke ek badi machli ne Yunus ‘alayhis salaam ko pura ka pura nigal liya.
Phir jab Yunus ‘alayhis salaam ne aakhe kholi to dekha ke wo machli ke pet ke andar hai aur zinda hai.
Wo fauran SAJDE mei gir pade aur ALLAH se khoob gidgidake tawba karne lage.
Wo pehle aise insaan the jinhone aisi jagah sajda kiya tha jaha kisi aur ne kabhi nahi kiya.
Unhone ALLAH se tawba karte hue kaha:
"La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntum minaz zalimeen (nahi koi ilah magar tu hi, Ae ALLAH, jo paak hai aur beshak mai hi zalim hu.)"
☆Yahi wajah hai ke Yunus ‘alayhis salaam ko Dhun-Noon ke naam se bhi jaana jata hai jiska mayna hai "Machli wala".
☆ 3 tarah ka andhera mojood tha jisse pata chalta hai ke andhero par andhera taari tha. Pehle raat ka andhera, phir samundar ki gehrayyo ka andhera aur phir machli ke pet ka andhera.
☆Ye kisi sahih hadith se waaze nahi hai ke Yunus ‘alayhis salaam uss machli ke pet mei kitne waqt rahe the.]
