If only there had been a society which believed ˹before seeing the torment˺ and, therefore, benefited from its belief, like the people of Jonah. When they believed, We lifted from them the torment of disgrace in this world and allowed them enjoyment for a while. Had your Lord so willed ˹O Prophet˺, all ˹people˺ on earth would have certainly believed, every single one of them! Would you then force people to become believers? It is not for any soul to believe except by Allah’s leave, and He will bring His wrath upon those who are unmindful. Quran 10:98~100 Surah Yunus,Jonah
The surah is named after the Prophet Yunus [Jonah] and this is the only surah of the Qur’an to mention the ‘people of Yunus’ –
“Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah?
When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time” (10:98)
There are 109 Ayat in this Surah.

فَلَوۡلَا كَانَتۡ قَرۡیَةٌ ءَامَنَتۡ فَنَفَعَهَاۤ إِیمَـٰنُهَاۤ إِلَّا قَوۡمَ یُونُسَ لَمَّاۤ ءَامَنُوا۟ كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخِزۡیِ فِی ٱلۡحَیَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا وَمَتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِینࣲ وَلَوۡ شَاۤءَ رَبُّكَ لَءَامَنَ مَن فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كُلُّهُمۡ جَمِیعًاۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُكۡرِهُ ٱلنَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ یَكُونُوا۟ مُؤۡمِنِینَ وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفۡسٍ أَن تُؤۡمِنَ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَیَجۡعَلُ ٱلرِّجۡسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِینَ لَا یَعۡقِلُونَ
The main subject of this Surah is faith in Allah and belief in the Hereafter. Those who have true faith, they worship Allah and recognize Him as their Lord and Master and live their lives in accordance to His command. Allah sent His Messengers to remind people and to warn them. The stories of Prophets Noah and Prophet Moses with Pharaoh are told to remind people about the consequences of unfaithfulness and arrogance.
پھر کیا ایسی کوئی مثال ہے کہ ایک بستی عذاب دیکھ کر ایمان لائی ہو اور اس کا ایمان اس کے لیے نفع بخش ثابت ہوا ہو؟ یونسؑ کی قوم کے سوا (اس کی کوئی نظیر نہیں) وہ قوم جب ایمان لے آئی تھی تو البتہ ہم نے اس پر سے دنیا کی زندگی میں رسوائی کا عذاب ٹال دیا تھا اور اس کو ایک مدت تک زندگی سے بہرہ مند ہونے کا موقع دے دیا تھا اگر تیرے رب کی مشیت یہ ہوتی (کہ زمین میں سب مومن و فرمانبردار ہی ہوں) تو سارے اہل زمین ایمان لے آئے ہوتے پھر کیا تو لوگوں کو مجبور کرے گا کہ وہ مومن ہو جائیں؟ کوئی متنفس اللہ کے اذن کے بغیر ایمان نہیں لا سکتا، اور اللہ کا طریقہ یہ ہے کہ جو لوگ عقل سے کام نہیں لیتے وہ ان پر گندگی ڈال دیتا ہے
