A. Yusuf Ali:
Translation: He would certainly have remained inside the
Fish 4125 till the Day of Resurrection.
Commentary:
4125 This is just the idiom. This was to be the burial and the grave of Jonah. If he
had not repented, he could not have got out of the body of the creature that had
swallowed him, until the Day of Resurrection, when all the dead would be raised
up.
