Jonah said to be the same as Yunus
In Islam
Quran
Jonah (Arabic: يُونُس, romanized: Yūnus) is the title of the tenth chapter of the Quran. Yūnus is traditionally viewed as highly important in Islam as a prophet who was faithful to God and delivered His messages. Jonah is the only one of Judaism's Twelve Minor Prophets to be named in the Quran. In Quran 21:87 and 68:48, Jonah is called Dhul-Nūn (Arabic: ذُو ٱلنُّوْن; meaning "The One of the Fish"). In 4:163 and 6:86, he is referred to as "an apostle of Allah". Surah 37:139–148 retells the full story of Jonah:
And verily, Jonah was among the messengers.[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.Then (to save it from sinking) he drew straws (with other passengers). He lost and was thrown overboard.Then the whale engulfed him while he was blameworthy.Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.But We cast him onto the open (shore), (totally) worn out,and caused a squash plant to grow over him.We (later) sent him (back) to (his city of) at least one hundred thousand people,And they believed, so We allowed them enjoyment for a while.
The Quran never mentions Jonah's father, but Muslim tradition teaches that Jonah was from the tribe of Benjamin and that his father was Amittai.
