This is the prayer of Prophet Yunus alahis salam when he set off in despair, abandoning his ummah after giving up hope of them coming to the right path. Allah the Exalted then instructed a whale to swallow him (but not digest) so that he stayed in the dark belly of the whale contemplating his mistake in abandoning his ummah with out Allah's instruction and there he repented.
The lesson learnt here is that everyone makes mistakes in judgement even the prophets and it's best not to follow your emotions when you are angry or sad and find a quiet place to contemplate and review your best action to take.
This dua is mentioned in Surah Al-Anbiya' verse 87:
Which means :
"And (remember) The Man of the Fish (Yunus), when he went off in anger, and imagined that We shall not punish him! But he cried through the darkness (saying) La ilaha illa Anta (none has the right to be worshipped but You; O Allah) Glorified (and Exalted) are You. Truly, I have been among the wrong doers."
If you are reciting the dua then it starts from:
" La Ilaha Illa Anta, Subhanaka Inni Kuntu Minaz Zhalimin".
It is a very good dua to recite when faced with calamity or when demonstrating your repentance to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for your wrong doings.
Malay Version :
Doa di atas ini adalah doa Nabi Yunus alaihis salam tatkala beliau meninggalkan ummatnya dalam keadaan marah dan berputus asa bahawa mereka akan mengikut dakwahnya ke jalan yang benar. Allah s.w.t. kemudian memerintahkan seekor ikan paus untuk menelan beliau tanpa menghadamnya. Maka, duduklah beliau di dalam perut ikan paus yang gelap, merenung kesilapannya dalam meninggalkan ummatnya tanpa keizinan Allah s.w.t dan bertaubatlah beliau kepada Allah s.w.t.
Pengajaran dari kisah ini adalah setiap manusia membuat kesilapan dalam penilaian, walaupun beliau adalah seorang nabi. Oleh itu, adalah sebaiknya apabila kita sedang beremosi untuk tidak mengikut perasan tatkala marah atau bersedih dan carilah tempat yang sunyi dan tenang untuk kita merenung situasi di tangan dan memikirkan jalan yang terbaik untuk menyelesaikan masalah.
Doa Nabi Yunus ini tersebut di dalam Surah Al-Anbiya', ayat 87 dan bermaksud:
"Dan (sebutkanlah peristiwa) Zun-Nun, ketika ia pergi (meniggalkan kaumnya) dalam keadaan marah, yang menyebabkan ia menyangka bahawa Kami tidak akan mengenakan kesusahan atau cubaan ; maka ia pun mnyeru dalam keadaan yang gelap gelita dengan berkata: "Sesungguhnya tiada Tuhan (yang dapat menolong) melainkan Engkau (Ya Allah) Maha Suci Engkau! Sesungguhnya aku adalah dari orang-orang yang menganiaya diri sendiri."
Doa bermula dari:
" La Ilaha Illa Anta, Subhanaka Inni Kuntu Minaz Zhalimin".
Amatlah baik sekiranya kita membaca doa ini apabila berhadapan dengan musibah atau apabila kita sedang melahirkan taubat kita kepada Allah s.w.t atas kesalahan-kesalahan yang telah kita lakukan.
Wallahu A'lam.
