Yunus ibn Matta is a Prophet of Allah. Matta is said to be either his mother or his father. He was from the descendants of Benjamin or Levi ibn Ya'qub. He was made a prophet at the age of forty. He was among the worshippers of the Children of Israel, and one of the prophets most devoted to prayer and worship. Allah sent him to the people of Nineveh when transgressions became widespread among them.
