Watch.. The story of an imam of a mosque who found the worshipers laughing after he ascended the pulpit and began delivering the sermon.. The reason is a surprise
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Al-Marsad newspaper: The presenter of the “Ajaweed” program, Abdullah Al-Muhaidib, recounted a situation that an imam faced while delivering the sermon, when he was surprised by the worshipers looking at him and laughing without knowing the reason for that.
He said, during an episode of the program broadcast on Al-Majd satellite channel, that the imam was giving a sermon regarding piety to God Almighty, but the worshipers looked at him and laughed. Noting that this raised the imam’s astonishment.
And he continued, following several minutes, the imam realized the presence of a rose in his pocket, which caused the worshipers to laugh, indicating that he decided to deal with the situation wisely and made this matter part of the sermon and addressed his speech to the worshipers saying, O people, what do you think when one of you presents a rose from his wife .
He concluded by saying, we benefit from the wisdom of “renew your conversation with your reality.”
Al-Jazeera.net quoted Deutsche Welle: In light of the changes that the world has experienced, since the emergence of the Corona virus “Covid-19” and its spread among all countries, it seemed that its economic, social and health repercussions were very great.
And it did not stop there, but recently other viruses have appeared, according to the German T Online website.
Tomato influenza appeared and spread in some Indian regions; It is a highly contagious virus that infects children, according to a report in Deutsche Welle.
According to the German website Spiegel, the authorities in India have reported 82 cases of so-called tomato flu (or tomato fever) so far.
And researchers from India and Australia spoke for the first time last week in the “The Lancet Respiratory Medicine” regarding the results recorded regarding this virus.
So what do we know so far regarding this epidemic?
What is tomato flu?
The virus first appeared on May 6, 2022 in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala. It is most often affected by children between the ages of 1 and 5 years, and adults with weakened immune systems.
The virus first appeared on May 6, 2022 in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala. It is most often affected by children between the ages of 1 and 5 years, and adults with weakened immune systems.
The name comes from the symptoms of the disease, in which infected people develop a red rash, blisters, irritation and dryness of the skin.
These are all painful symptoms all over the body, and they can become significant as well.
Experts are trying to find out whether it is really a new virus or whether the disease is the result of infection with chikungunya virus or dengue fever. Both viral diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes.
What are the symptoms of people with tomato flu?
The disease is highly contagious, and in addition to the rash and irritation, people with tomato flu have a high fever, fatigue, joint pain and swelling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, and a runny nose.

How we can diagnose the disease?
Indian authorities are currently pursuing a precautionary principle, in which affected people are tested for certain viruses, such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika, chickenpox, and herpes.
For anyone who has not been infected with these viruses, his infection with tomato flu is considered confirmed.
How is the disease transmitted?
The prerequisite for the transmission of this virus appears to be physical contact. But contaminated objects can also lead to infection, especially if children put such objects in their mouths.
Tomato flu is also very contagious. Researchers have warned that the disease might have very serious consequences for adults if outbreaks in children are not controlled.
Patients should be isolated for 5 to 7 days following the onset of symptoms and not share food, items, clothing, etc. with other family members.
Indian health authorities have already closed day care centers in the affected areas as a precaution, and awareness campaigns are now being conducted in villages.
How is the disease treated?
This disease is cured without curative measures. Only patients should be isolated, resting and drinking more fluids so that they do not become dehydrated.

Researchers also recommend symptomatic treatment, such as taking paracetamol for fever. While there are currently no specific vaccines or drugs to treat it.
Are we on the verge of a new pandemic?
Scientists confirm that tomato flu has nothing to do with the Covid-19 virus, even if some of the symptoms are similar. They also point out that the risk of another pandemic is quite low.
The infection of this virus is linked to a specific group and region, but the most important thing is that this virus does not pose any threat to life.
Before Fed meeting in Jackson Hole: Markets speculate about Fed aggressiveness | 08/24/22

“Every word of Powell is weighed in gold”. Before the important central bank meeting in Jackson Hole in the US state of Wyoming, the market is speculating regarding the extent of forthcoming interest rate hikes, especially by the US Federal Reserve, but also by the European Central Bank (ECB). By Wolfgang Ehrensberger
On Tuesday, slightly weaker economic data from the US, in particular a falling S&P purchasing managers’ index, fueled hopes among some market participants that the Fed might not be as aggressive as expected with its next interest rate hike in September.
However, the leading German index DAX remained under cover on Wednesday morning and started trading slightly in the red. On Tuesday it closed 0.3 percent lower at 13194 points. “After the end of the recent euphoria, investors are now rather depressed,” says IGMarkets expert Christian Henke, summing up the situation on Wednesday morning. “Like the flight of Icarus through the sun, the high flight ended abruptly. The DAX is now descending towards the psychologically important 13,000 point mark.”
The meeting in the legendary Jackson Hole
Starting Thursday, the world’s leading central bankers will meet in the town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to discuss the next rate hike. Jerome Powell’s speech on Friday is eagerly awaited. The head of the US Federal Reserve has already hinted at a possible large interest rate hike at the next interest rate meeting on September 21st. An unusually large interest rate hike of 0.75 percentage points to combat inflation had already been decided in July. With another hike of this magnitude in September, the Fed would already advance to a restrictive level of interest rates, which might also slow down the economy.
“The meeting of the central bankers in the tranquil Jackson Hole in the US state of Wyoming is always an important event for market participants,” explains Henke from IGMarkets. “Especially this year, every word of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is likely to be weighed up. The statements are not only analyzed in detail, but might shape the development of the financial markets for the next few weeks.”
Despite the recent somewhat weaker economic data, experts are expecting the head of the Fed to make a clear statement in the direction of a significant interest rate hike. “He will reiterate that the Fed’s main goal is to get inflation under control – it’s not there to support the stock or bond markets,” Chris Grisanti, chief strategist at MAI Capital Management, told the Archyde.com news agency.
And what is the ECB doing?
In the meantime, the European Central Bank (ECB) might also raise interest rates sharply once more at its next interest rate meeting on September 8th, despite the risk of recession. The inflation outlook has not improved since the July meeting, central bank director Isabel Schnabel recently told the Archyde.com news agency. “In July we decided to hike by 50 basis points given the inflation outlook. At the moment I don’t think that outlook has fundamentally changed.
