The story of Prophet Yunus (Jonah) is a profound narrative recounted in both the Quran and the Bible, highlighting themes of repentance, mercy, and divine providence.

Realizing that he was the cause of the calamity due to his abandonment of his prophetic duty, Yunus asked to be thrown into the sea to save the ship and its crew.
