n-w-n

Description

The Arabic root ن-و-ن (n-w-n) relates to the large fish or whale, most notably appearing in the Quranic title Dhun-Nun (literally "the one of the fish/whale"), which refers to Prophet Yunus (Jonah) who was swallowed by a great fish. This epithet commemorates the miraculous event when Yunus was preserved inside the fish's belly as a divine trial and sign of God's mercy. The term emphasizes the transformative experience of Yunus and serves as a reminder of divine power over creation and the importance of patience and repentance.
