The Holy Quran 11:45 — Surah Hud

Arabic text

وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ رَّبَّهُۥ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ٱبْنِى مِنْ أَهْلِى وَإِنَّ وَعْدَكَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحْكَمُ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ

Translation

Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام called to his Rabb saying (asking about what he knows), "O my Rabb! Surely my son (who was drowned) is from my family and indeed Your promise (to rescue my family from the flood) is true. (Why was he then not blessed with Imaan and not saved from the flood?) (However,) You are the Best of Judges (there must therefore be good reason why You allowed him to drown)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — روح المعاني

(فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ابني من أهلى) عليه، وقيل : النداء على حقيقته والعطف بالفاء لكون حق التفصيل يعقب الاجمال (وَإِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الحق) أى وإن وعدك ذلك أوكل وعد تعده حق لا يتطرق اليه خلف فيدخل فيه الوعد المعهود دخولا أولياً وَأَنتَ أَحْكُمُ الحكمين ٤٥)
