is no deity but You, glory be to You! Surely I became among the
unjust. (21:87) |

| Prophet
Yunus (pbh) was distraught due to the refusal of his people in accepting
the truth. Upset, Yunus abandoned his people, while he was supposed
to be persistent in sipte of initial failure. During a ship voyage,
sailors thought he was a bad omen and threw him out of the ship.
So when Yunus (pbh) was in distress, he made this supplication.
In the verse following this supplication, Allah mentions that He
responded and delivered Yunus (pbh) from the grief. This verse (21:88)
also tells us that Allah will deliver the believers in a similar
fashion (if they make sincere repentance and seek forgiveness).
