Yunus (Arabic: يونس, Yūnus; Arabic synonym of "Jonas" or "Jonah"),[1] is the 10th chapter (surah) of the Quran with 109 verses (ayat). Yunus is named after the prophet Yunus (Jonah). According to tafsir chronology (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is believed to have been revealed before the migration of the Islamic prophet Muhammed and his followers from Mecca to Medina (Hijra), as such, it is known as a Meccan surah.
Surah Yunus is the first of six surahs which open with the tri-letters alif, lam and ra'.[2]
