{{Blockquote|And verily, Jonah was among the messengers.<br>[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.<br>Then (to save it from sinking) he drew straws (with other passengers). He lost and was thrown overboard.<br>Then the whale engulfed him while he was blameworthy.<br>Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,<br>He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the [[Last Judgment|Day of Resurrection]].<br>But We cast him onto the open (shore), (totally) worn out,<br>and caused a squash plant to grow over him.<br>We (later) sent him (back) to (his city of) at least one hundred thousand people,<br>And they believed, so We allowed them enjoyment for a while.|{{qref|37|139|c=y}}}}

The Quran never mentions Jonah's father,{{sfn|Vicchio|2008|page=67}} but [[Muslim]] tradition teaches that Jonah was from the [[tribe of Benjamin]] and that his father was [[Amittai]].<ref name="Islam, pg. 348">''Encyclopedia of Islam'', ''Yunus'', pg. 348</ref>
