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).
