Surah Yunus

Yunus (Jonah)

The Surah takes its name from V. 98 in which there is a reference to Prophet Yunus (Jonah). The name as usual is symbolical and does not indicate that the Surah deals with the story of Prophet Jonah.

Ra'd(Thunder)

This Surah takes its name from the word "al-Ra'ad" (thunder) that occurs in v. 13. It is merely the symbolic name of the Surah and does not in any way mean that the Sura deals with the scientific problems connected with thunder.

Surah Hud

This Sura has been named after Prophet Hud whose story has been related in vv. 50-60. If we consider its theme deeply we come to the conclusion that it was revealed during the same period as Surah Yunus and most probably followed it immediately.
