N2  -  Objectiv(s):Jonah is ordered by God to city of Nineveh to preach. He boards at a boat.
However, the craft was soon overtaken by a squall, for which Jonah admitted responsibility
and persuaded the crew of the boat to throw him overboard. He was then vomited out
on the shoreline. A fast-growing plant had provided him with much needed shade. The
Hebrew name for the fast-growing plant that provided relief for Jonah is qiqayon and translated
into English as gourd. In the Quran, the plant at Nineveh is identified as yaqtin. The
nature of this plant is not well understand.
Methods: The method used for this research is descriptive-analytical.
Conclusion:
1-The yaqtin is identified with Lagenaria siceraria.
2-The identification of the Hebrew qiqayon as Ricinus communis, Arabic
kharua’, is not accepted in Islamic tradition.
