The case of Jonah, the man swallowed by the fish, could be realistic. In other words, Qur’an didn’t use any superficial or unscientific statement to describe the story of Jonah. Qur’an didn’t mention at all about the duration of stay of Jonah inside the fish, which qualified it’s central character for a short time not to suffocate or to burn to death by it’s stomach acid. 3 days and 3 nights are too much in this case, to be honest with you.
Worthy to mention, a sperm whale can easily swallow a human as it habited to swallow big squids as it’s food. A 50 cm wide esophagus of this 70 feet tall aquatic creature is probably the biggest one in animal kingdom.
The original Arabic word ‘hawt’ ( حوت) used in Qur’an (37:142,68:48) now made to understand whale in modern Arabic while ‘samak’ (سمك) now is used to denote fish in general ( non-mammals I guess) .
After the big fish spewed Jonah to the nearest shore, it was reported in Qur’an that he was sick (37:145) which makes sense after being in unhealthy state in the belly of the whale .
Jonah to recover fast, GOD, the Almighty aided him with a tree of pumpkin/gourd (يقطين) . This is mentioned in 37:146. This would help a patient like Prophet Jonah incredibly as these fruits/veg are having the following wonderful benefits:
a) Anti Inflammation properties.
b) Alkaline and fight against infections.
c) Boost immune system.
d) High water contents.
e) Very rich with blend of varieties of vitamins and minerals.
Not to press you hard but the story of Jonah in Qur’an has no flaws when someone will consider it rationally and scientifically.
