Tafsir

The prayer of Yunus علیہ السلام is invoked by all people at all times and for all their needs

وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُنجِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (And this is how We rescue the believers - Al-Anbiya 21:88 .) That is, just as We released Yunus علیہ السلام from his misery and distress, so do We deliver other believers ( مُؤْمِنِينَ ) when they turn towards Us repenting their sins sincerely.

According to a hadith of the Holy Prophet if a Muslim prays to Allah Ta` al a for the grant of a wish in the words used by Yunus علیہ السلام when he was in the stomach of the fish i.e. لَّا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ Al-Anbiya 21:87 He would accept his prayer and grant his wish.
