Quran /10- Jonas YUNUS Meccan/

Introduction

In The Name of Allah AL-Rahman and AL-Rahim (The Merciful,)
The Surah (Chapter) exposes the disposition of the idolaters toward what is revealed to the Messenger by inspiration and clearly indicates that the Quran is a divine discourse which could not have originated from a source other than Allah. It challenges the infidels to produce the like thereof. It emphasizes that the outstanding miracle of this system of faith and worship is the Quran which is its solid foundation.
The Surah laid stress on the fact that Allah's attributes reflect His Omnipotence and Authority to effect what He will: The creation of the universe in six days* of His unit of time, the sun and the moon and computation of time**, His control of fate, of life and death, of sustenance, and of creation and recreation. The Surah also makes it clear that obedience to Allah is well rewarded and the reverse is requited with a condign punishment.
It narrates to people parables and events helping them ponder Allah’s Omnipotence, Authority and Omnipresence: That of Jonah as well as of other prophets. The Surah states explicitly that life on earth cannot be stabilized without the solemn belief in Allah and the obedience to His statutes. The Surah then ends by summing up the issue in a few remarkable verses wherein the Messenger is instructed to keep at it and follow what is inspired until Allah pronounces His judgement.
