The Prophet inside the whale — a short story for children with the dua, lessons and a quiz.
Yunus left his people in anger before Allah told him to. Inside the fish he called out: “There is no god but You, glory be to You; I have been among the wrongdoers.” The dua is: “La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz-zalimin.” — There is no god but You. Glory be to You. Indeed, I have been among the wrongdoers. (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:87).
