Mere blood relations cannot guarantee Paradise
A son of Nuh (AS) rejected the truth, and so was drowned by the flood despite his father’s wish that he be rescued. Allah declared to Nuh (AS) regarding his son, 'Indeed he is not of your family…' (11:46) This is because he had no faith in Allah and acted arrogantly. Similarly, the wife of Nuh (AS) was also not a believer, and thus suffered the same fate. We therefore learn that being associated with a prophet or righteous person does not automatically lead to salvation. Every person is judged by Allah for his or her own deeds and degree of faith. Allah makes this clear elsewhere in the Quran too: 'And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And if a heavily laden soul calls [another] to [carry some of] its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should be a close relative.' (35:18)
