Yunus ibn Matta (Arabic: يُوْنُس ٱبْن مَتّىٰ, romanized: Yūnus ibn Mattā) is a prophet of God in Islam corresponding to Jonah son of Amittai in the Hebrew Bible.[1][2] Jonah is the only one of the Twelve Minor Prophets in the Hebrew Bible to be named in the Quran.[3] The tenth chapter of the Quran, Yunus, is named after him.[4]
In the Quran, Yunus is mentioned several times by name, as an apostle of god, and as Dhu l-Nun (Arabic: ذُو ٱلنُّوْن, lit. 'The One of the Fish').[5][6]
