The Holy Quran 29:14 — Surah Al-'Ankabut

Arabic text

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِيهِمْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَامًا فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلطُّوفَانُ وَهُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ

Translation

Without doubt, we sent Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام as a Rasool to his nation, where he remained (preaching Towheed to them) for a thousand years less fifty years (950 years). Then (when they refused to accept his message and continued to harass him, he prayed to Allaah to destroy them. Consequently) a storm (flood) struck them (and they were all drowned) while they were oppressive (they oppressed themselves by refusing to accept Imaan).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ولقد أرسلنا نوحًا إلى قومه فمكث فيهم ألف سنة إلا خمسين عامًا، يدعوهم إلى التوحيد وينهاهم عن الشرك، فلم يستجيبوا له، فأهلكهم الله بالطوفان، وهم ظالمون لأنفسهم بكفرهم وطغيانهم.
