Hazrat Jonah (PBUH) is among the personalities mentioned in both the Quran and the Hebrew Bible. The Quranic story of Jonah in the Quran, more than being in line with the story of the Hebrew Bible, is similar to his story in the writings of the Syrian church fathers, which is a reflection of the beliefs of the Christians of the descent era. Therefore, the story of the Quran can be considered in line with the Christian interpretations of the story of Jonah. According to Christian perceptions, some elements of Jonah's story, his story, are used in the direction of Christology. Using the method of comparative studies and with an analytical-explanatory approach, this research, has sought an answer to the question of how the Quran faced the typical Christian interpretations of the story of Jonah in the age of descent. The answer obtained is that not only does the Quran deny the Christian typology, but it also seems to narrate the story of the prophets in relation to the Prophet of Islam and develops its own typology and prophetology. Also, by removing parts of Jonah's story, which were common among Christians, it has taken a step towards negating or showing low importance of common opinions against its teachings.
