barakalaho fik for your amazing website and the effort you spent.

i just realized a small mistake !
in the animals of the qoran- the fish… its qoted the following:
(37:142)

فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

but here is meant the wale not the fish.

ANSWER

Dear Romy

Hope you are good. The arabic word الْحُوتُ refers to fish but it means any thing going or circulating round about water, or in water…. even if it is a marine mammal.

When you say that here it is meant Whale…you just assumed… we cannot say with certainty what exactly happened & what kind of Ocean-Creature was that swallowed Jonnah.

Hope this cleared the confusion
Have a great day
Best regards
