The story of Prophet Jonah as

Not much is told by the Qur'an about the Prophet Jonah, as was narrated about the prophets Moses, Joseph and others. And all that can be recorded and narrated by historians and commentators about the prophet Jonah is that unlicensed he named Jonah bin Matta. He has diutuskan by God to preach to the people in a place called "Ninawa" which is not his people, nor any blood ties with them. He is a stranger to come in the middle of it Ninawa population. He met them was in darkness, ignorance and disbelief, they worshiped idols associating partners to Allah.
Jonathan brings the teachings of monotheism and faith to them, invite them rather worship to God who created them and created the universe, leaving their offerings to idols they make themselves from the stones and the idols that can not be brought manfaaat or harm to them . He warned they call themselves as human beings who earn God's main advantages over other creatures is not duly humbled himself with the forehead and bowed their faces to worship the stones that they die pertuhankan, yet it is all made their own sometimes and can be destroyed and changed the shape and memodelnya. He invites them to think considering creation of God in themselves, in their natural surroundings to menyedarkan that unlicensed God that is worthy of worship the creator rather than the objects creation.

The teachings of the prophet Jonah was for the residents Ninawa a novelty that they had never heard of before. Kerananya they can not accept to replace the teachings and beliefs that have been inherited by their ancestors who had become their customary habits from generation to generation. Moreover, the carrier that religion is a stranger no collateral with them.
They said to the prophet Jonah: "Do the words that you say it and lie what do you recommend to us about your new religion that? These are our gods that we worship the true and grandmother moyamg disembahkan by us long ago. The reasons justifying whether we abandon our religion passed down by our ancestors and replace it with your new religion? You are the one who in the midst of us who came to destroy our customs and to change our religion and what advantage that gives you above us reason to mengurui and teach us. Stop-ajakanmu aksimu and encourage this in our area. Believe that unlicensed you will be unable to followers of us and that unlicensed ajaranmu will not get the market among people who are very firm Ninawa maintain the traditions and customs of our old people. "

Barkata Prophet Jonah replied: "I just invited you believe and bertauhid according to the religion which I take as a mandate of God that I shall tell thee. I'm just a messenger commissioned by God to lift you from the valley of the darkness of error and brought you to the right path and deliver straight to you clean the sacred religion from the seeds of kufr and shirk is degrading to human dignity solely for your own good and goodness of thine offspring later. I occasionally do not expect anything from you wages or fringe benefits, nor want power or position. I can not force you to follow and implement the teachings of me. I just remind you that free if you remain defiant and ignored the invitation, still reject the religion of Allah that I carry, while maintaining akidahmu and your religion is a false and heretical, God nescaya later will show you the signs of truth risalahku to reduce his punishment seksa on top of you as have been experienced by the former namely the Noah, Aad and Thamood before you.

They said the warning of the Prophet Jonah with opposition saying: "We continue to reject ajakanmu and will not be subject to the orders or follow kemahuanmu and occasionally we will not fear any ancamanmu. Cubalah ancamkan what you bring to us if you are correct in your words and do not lie to us. "
The prophet Jonah can not stand to live with for a while in the midst of the Ninawa who insisted on his head and being blind-deaf to face teaching and preaching. He then left the Ninawa with a sense of annoyance and anger as he pleaded with God to impose penalties on people who are disobedient and obstinate that.

The prophet Jonah Sepeninggalan Ninawa population began to see signs of worry as if the threat of the Prophet Jonah to them will come true and God's punishment will actually fall on them to bring destruction and misery as experienced by the pagan idolaters before them. They see the state of the air surrounding the increasingly darkening Ninawa, pets they seem restless and anxious, their faces pale unwittingly become bloodless and the wind blowing from all directions with kecangnya bring a frightening roar.

In a state of panic and fear, they Awake that unlicensed Jonah did not lie in his words and promised that unlicensed what they are not empty threats of its own making, but the threat from the Lord. Immediately they expressed repentance and forgiveness for all their actions, expressed faith and believe in the truth of the prophet Jonah preaches as he feel sorry for their harsh treatment of and attitude that makes him angry and left the area.

To atone for sins, they were out of town and flock to the hills and desert, crying begging God for forgiveness and mercy from the inevitable disaster of His punishment and seksaan. Mother pets separated from their children so that the sound of screams of animals separated from their mothers participated as if begging the safety of the disaster that was threatening to come upon them.
Allah the Most Knowing that free His servants were honest in taubatnya and taste sesalannya and call themselves really and his heart is back from his faith and also pleaded averted from His punishment seksa, pleasing lowered his grace-and mengurniakan maghfirat unto His servants who sincerely repent sincerely declare and begged forgiveness of all sins. Dark air that includes Ninawa be bright, the faces are pale and red again ebrseri-series and the animals are restless to be calm, and then return these people to the city and home each with a full sense of joy and gratitude to God who was pleased to receive their prayer and supplication.

They said in their hearts after feeling calm, peaceful and safe from the catastrophe which almost swept them: "Where the hell Jonah is now located? Why do we have succumbed to the devil and follow the promptings of lust, make her leave us with a sense of anger and annoyance kerana our stance against and hostile. How happy we assume he's still in the midst of our guide and taught us the things that bring us happiness in the world and the Hereafter. He is truly God's messengers and prophets that we have wasted. May Allah forgive our sins. "

As for the state of the prophet Jonah who had to leave town suddenly Ninawa, so he wandered up the mountain on foot down the mountain without a goal. Without realizing he was suddenly disebuah beach again see a group of people hurrying about to ride a ship. He asked the owner of the ship to be allowed to participate along with other passengers. Ships immediately release sauhnya and glide with speed to the middle of a calm sea. The tranquility of the sea can not last long, kerana suddenly shaken and terayunlah ship by a large wave that came suddenly followed by a strong wind storm, making the helmsman on board the ship and all it's been a panic fear Dalan see the state of the ship that was not can be controlled balance.

The passengers and helmsman sees no way to save the situation if the weather still raged and did not subside, except by way relieve the heavy burden by sacrificing one of his cargo than passengers. Lottery then carried out to determine who among the passengers who must be sacrificed. On the first pull out the name of Jonah, a passenger who they most respected and loved, so they all feel the weight to throw into the sea to fish prey.

Then the raffle was held for the second time with each of the passengers do not expect to come out again the name of their loved Jonathan, but their hopes and exit melesetlah Jonah's name back in the second lottery. Thus to the lottery for the third time agreed upon as the last and decisive Yunuslah name that appears to be sacrificed to save the ship and other passengers.
The prophet Jonah is with regard telitinya lottery when the decision was made to feel that unlicensed lottery it is the will of God that can not be denied that perhaps therein terselit wisdom that he can not menyelaminya. Jonah also aware at that time that unlicensed he had sinned by leaving Ninawa before obtaining permission of God, so perhaps it is the lottery's decision as penance he was doing it. Then he beristikharah menghenimgkan copyrights moment and without any hesitation immediately threw herself into the sea immediately accepted by bending waves are raging with the enormity of the under-dense dark sky.

As the prophet Jonah who fought against the tide swung, Allag revealed to a whale to swallow are round and deviations in the stomach as the mandate of God that should return intact no later injured when the time comes.
The prophet Jonah in the belly of the whale that took him breaking waves arise and sink to the bottom of the sea feel chest tightness and sorrow as she begged pardon of God over sin and wrong actions done in a hurry. He cried in the darkness of the whale's belly: "My Lord, there is no god but You, You are now clean and indeed Oft have I sinned and became one of them who do wrong."

When finished serving his sentence of God, for some time has been determined, ditumpahkanlah Prophet Jonah by a whale who conceived him and threw it ashore. He was thrown from the mouth of the fish to the shore in a state of weak and sickly thin. But God in His grace to grow in the place he was stranded a pumpkin tree that can overshadow Jonah with the leaves and enjoy the fruit.
The prophet Jonah after recovery and become fresh again commanded by God to go back to visit Ninawa where a hundred thousand more people longing-longing his arrival to lead them and give guidance further to perfect faith and their faith. And the prophet Jonah was surprised when the incoming Ninawa and not seeing any graven images stand. Instead he met the people who formerly opposed it and refused wrongheaded teachings and now have become believers, pious worship praise and worship God Almighty

The principal story of Jonah noted above narrated by Al-Quran in surah Yunus verse 98, sura Al-Anbiaa 'paragraphs 87, 88 and Sura Ash-Shaffaat paragraph 139 so that paragraph 148.

Teaching to be learned from the story of the prophet Jonah.

Bahawasannya a who served as a preacher - missionary interpreters must have patience and not be quick-quick to anger and despair when his message should not be welcome or not immediately accepted by the people who didakwahinya. In such circumstances he must be patient guarding his emotions and his message continued to be wise and gentle, as the word of God in surah An-Nahl verse 125 which meant: 'Call, berdakwahlah the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching and their bantahlah way {good} polite and gentle. "

In the self of the Prophet Jonah God has given examples of how he has regretted his actions are hasty kerana lose patience, leave the Ninawa, but they still can disedarkan to accept his invitation assume he was in no hurry angry and leave them without first negotiating with God had sent him.
For violations that have been done without conscious punishment God has given to the prophet Jonah in the form of confinement in the whale's belly as a warning and teaching so as not to happen again after he was given a pardon and were told to return to the Ninawa continue preaching.
