O people, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [Final] Hour is a terrible thing. On the Day you see it, every nursing mother will [forget] what she nursed, and every pregnant one will miscarry her burden, and you will see people [appearing] as if they are drunk, but they will not be drunk. And the punishment of Allah is severe.
