Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it correct for John (peace be upon him) to say that humans are from his father?

Answer:
Yes,
O descendants of those We carried [in the ship] with Noahذُرِّيَّةَ مَنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ
[Al-Isra 17:3]
, because Allah destroyed the people of the earth with the flood, so none remained except those who rode with Noah in the ship, even Noah’s son
"O my son, come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers." (43) [But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allah, except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.يَا بُنَيَّ ارْكَب مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُن مَّعَ الْكَافِرِينَ قَالَ سَآوِي إِلَىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِينَ
[Hud 11:42-43]
All the people of the earth drowned except those who were in the ship.
