Yūnus/Jonah (Peace be upon them) was sent, by Allah, to the People-Of-Nineveh. Yūnus refused to tread in the Land where Allah order them to go. As a Result, Allah tested/chastised Yūnus, while on a Vessel to go elsewhere-A Violent-Storm consumed the Ship whip Yūnus was sailing in…Typical-Shipwreck. While Stranded-At-Sea, a Hūt (Large Sea-Creature) engulfed Yūnus much like how the Persons via the Above-Video. It’s unknown, however, the Duration in which Yūnus was embedded via the Body of the Hūt. But, eventually, Yūnus was ejected by the Hūt & managed to be shored via the Nasr/Help-Of-Allah. As a Direct-Result of such a Mu`jizah (Prophetic-Miracle): all amongst the People-Of-Nineveh decided to accept al-Islām…keep in Mind that this occured at least 3-Millennia ago.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.10, V.98; Chpt.37, V.139-148; at-Tabarī; as-Suyūtī; ibn-Kathīr)
Allah has revealed to us These-Narratives to show us Their Power over All-Things. It serves as an `Ibrah/Lesson, to direct us towards what to do & direct us away from what not to do. As well as detailing the Ajr/Reward for obeying Allah & the `Adhāb/Punishment for disobeying Allah.
But, how/why is this even important to revisit?!!!
Good-Question…Answer:
There’s literally Certain-Persons whom’ll audaciously/arrogantly claim that Miraculoys-Events, such as what’s been detailed, are merely “Fables”, “Fantasy”, “Allegorical”, “Metaphorical”, etc. They reject the Reality of at-Tanzīl/Revelation from Allah. They dismiss the Reality of the Qasas/Stories of Former-Peoples, Anbiyā’/Prophetic-Individuals (Peace be upon them altogether), etc. Yet, ironically, if they witness it: either the Same-Way it occured via the Past, or on a Smaller-Scale, then they’ll believe it.

If/when something like the Qasas of Yūnus is ever mentioned: there’s Certain-Persons whom would dare question: “How do you know that happened?!!!”…”Did you see it?!!!”…”Were you there?!!!”…”Where’s your Evidence?!!!”…etc. Simply making Excuses, Pseudo-Justifications, etc. to deny/reject what Allah has revealed. This is precisely how/why Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Apathy/Arrogance is denying Truth & mocking People.”.
