(Let us keep in mind here that “Fulk” and “Safinah” are metaphors for a lively, vibrant society revolving around a center. In the context of Prophet Junah (Younus) also the terms “Fulk” and “Fulk al-Mashhoon” are used. The literal, commonplace definition of these terms is “vessel or boat”, and our religious monopolists are concerned with only the commonplace and street language).
