Of the many lives of the Prophet and the Prophet, the story of Prophet Yunus Alaihissalam became one that is so inherent in memory. One of his most famous stories is when the Prophet was swallowed up by a large fish in the middle of the ocean.

Prophet Yunus was swallowed alive and lived in the belly of a fish that resembled a whale for some time wading through the ocean. But thanks to the repentance and dhikr he uttered, the fish finally spewed his stomach so that the Prophet also came out in animate state.

This fish then returns to the ocean and leaves the Prophet Yunus alone. The story between the two is just up there. However, when the Prophet Jonah had died thousands of years ago, the fish was considered still alive today. Is that right?

Speculation of the news about the fish is still alive is Surat Ash Shafa verse: 145. Allah explains that when the prophet Jonah did not repent, He will remain in the belly of the fish until the Day of Resurrection.

"(139). Truly Jonah is truly one of the apostles, (140). (remember) when he fled, to a loaded ship, (141). Then he joined the lot and then he included the losers in the lottery. (142). So he was swallowed up by a big fish in a deplorable state. (143). So if he were not of those who remember Allah much, (144). Undoubtedly he will remain in the belly of the fish until the day of resurrection. (145). (Q.S Ash Shaaffaat verses 139-145).

Based on the interpretation of various sources, the meaning "remains in the belly of the fish until the day of resurrection (145)", ie the belly of the fish will be his grave until the day of resurrection. It is then assumed if the fish is still alive today.

Social media residents are busy spreading this. However, no one knows the truth for sure. Allah SWT says if the Prophet Yunus did not repent, it will stay in the belly of the fish until the Day of Resurrection. But in fact, the prophet Jonah had repented to Allah and was forgiven. Sehinnga is possible if the fish is also dead
