Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What was Yunus?"

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 139. The key word al-mursalin means the messengers. Yunus was sent to a big city to call people to Allah. His story is one of the most famous in the Quran, full of lessons about patience, du'a and Allah's mercy. A whole surah is named after him.
