A Journey In The Deep Water - The Story of Our Prophet Younis Part-3

In the Sea
Our Prophet Younis arrived in the
Mediterranean Sea. He stopped at the port. He
was waiting for a sailboat to go to one of the
islands.
A sailboat came. The boat was full of
passengers. When the boat stopped at the
port, some passengers disembarked and
others embarked. Our prophet Younis was
among those who embarked.
The sailors raised the sails and the boat
began a voyage. When the boat was in the
middle of the Sea, storms blew and waves
became high.
While the boat was moving through the rough
water, a sperm whale appeared. The whale
rose in the midst of the waves and then it fell
striking the water with its tail. It created noise
as strong as an explosion. The fishes were
frightened, so they swam away.
The whale stopped for a while, and then water
gushed from its mouth like a fountain.
The whale rushed towards the boat, and then
it turned quickly. It moved its tail to make a
huge wave. The wave shook the boat strongly.
The sailors of the boat said to each other:
“The whale wants to drown and destroy the
boat.” The whale was big but the boat was
small.
The boat's Captain had only one solution. Had
to satisfy the whale with one of the
passengers.
So the passengers gathered and drew lots. The
lot fell upon Allah's Apostle, Younis.
Younis walked forward to face his fate bravely.
Our prophet Younis knew that what had
happened was according to Allah's will. So he
was not afraid and when he threw himself into
the deep water.
The passengers and the sailors saw the whale
coming towards the victim. After that they
saw nothing.
Younis and the whale disappeared. The boat
was safe from danger. What happened in the
deep water?
