which believed so that its belief might have profited it – (non) except the
folk of Jonah! When they believed We drew off from them the torment of
disgrace in the life of the world and gave them comfort for a while.

Commentary
It is
commanded that the human being, being entangled in the worldly matters, becomes
careless to this extent that he does not pay attention unto Allah Almighty. Due
to this negligence, many nations were destroyed and ruined by the torment of
Allah Almighty. If some of them believed in Allah Almighty, they believed at
such time when really the torment had fallen suddenly upon them.
However, an
example of the folk of Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him) exists, that; as soon
as those people observed tokens of torment prior to its occurrence; they
understood that Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him) spoke the truth, that if they
would not believe in Allah Almighty, His torment would descend upon them.
Looking unusual tokens of hurricane and violent storm in the sky, they all ran
to search Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him), but they could not find Him.
At last they
all went to jungle along with their families and pet cattle, accepted their
errors by shedding tears and repented because they were really sorrowful for
sins; and believed in Allah Almighty with true hearts. Due to their bewailing,
the torment was withdrawn from them. And they were saved from disgrace of
destruction and ruin. Then they were obedient servants of Allah Almighty and
became rich of God’s blessings. So they passed their worldly life with success.
Story of
Prophet Jonah (peace be upon Him) will come in Surah Saaf-faat (Chapter
37). The aim from telling only a little; here; is that other all folks overcame
with carelessness so much that till the time the torment did not come
unexpectedly upon them; they did not believe. Only the folk of Prophet Jonah
(peace be upon Him) is such nation which repented immediately from disobedience
of Allah Almighty as soon as they saw the portent of torment, and believed
wholeheartedly.
Prophet Jonah
(peace be upon Him) had said to His nation being distressed: the torment will
come upon you after three days. Saying this, He (peace be upon Him) flew away
from that territory. It all happened after His (peace be upon Him) departure.
