Commentary:
According to the Bible, Jonah was commissioned by God to go to Nineveh and "cry against" it, but, instead, he fled to Tarshish "from the presence of the Lord" (Jonah 1:3). The Quran contradicts this Biblical statement as it impugns a Divine Prophet, and, according to the Quran, Divine Prophets are sinless and incapable of disobeying God’s command. It is, therefore, not possible that Jonah should have even conceived of fleeing from the presence of the Omnipresent God. In fact, Jonah, being angry with his people, because they had rejected the Divine Message, fled from them, and not from God. See also 21:88. The whole account of Jonah as given in the Quran may be a description of his spiritual ascension and may be taken in a figurative sense and interpreted accordingly.

In fact, being angry with his people, because they had rejected the Divine Message, Jonah fled from them.
