English - Five Volume Translation
And they believed; so We gave them provision for a while.
Commentary:
In the whole history of religion, no people are known to have benefited so much from the warning of impending Divine punishment as did the people of Jonah. When they were warned that they would be visited with punishment if they did not behave and believe in Jonah and did not mend their ways, they at once repented and believed in Jonah with the result that the threatened punishment was averted. This repentance of Jonah’s people, even though belated, so pleased God that they were not only forgiven but their case is held up in the Quran, as an example for disbelievers of all Prophets of God (10:99).
