And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.  

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ  

˹Mention˺ when he ran away to the laden ship.  

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ  

And he drew lots and was among the losers.  

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ  

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.  

فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ  

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,  

فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ  

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.  

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ  

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.  

فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ  

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.  

وَأَنْبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِنْ يَقْطِينٍ  

And We sent him to ˹his people of˺ a hundred thousand or more.  

وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ  

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment ˹of life˺ for a time.  

فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
