“And [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, “There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.” So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.” (Quran, 21:87-88)
These Quranic verses are about Prophet Younus (AS); he was called as the man of fish as he (AS) was devoured by fish by the order of Allah. These verses tell us about what he (AS) did in his hard time and thus, guide us about what we can do in our tough times; hence, giving us hope and satisfaction that Allah will help us and forgive us and respond to our prayers and our problems will be solved eventually by the mercy of Allah.
