"She is resting and feeling better every day," a spokesperson for Oprah Winfrey tells.
Oprah Winfrey has been hospitalized due to a stomach virus.
On June 11, the 70-year-old was notably absent from a scheduled appearance on CBS Mornings where she was set to announce her latest book club pick. During the broadcast, Gayle King explained her absence.
"She had some kind of stomach issue — stomach flu — and was experiencing severe symptoms,” King shared. “I won't get too graphic, but she ended up in the hospital due to dehydration and needed an IV.”
"It was a serious situation," King continued, noting that Winfrey attempted to push through but ultimately needed to rest.
"She will be okay. I hope she's not upset with me for sharing these details," King said about her longtime friend. "But it's important to understand that it bothered her not to be here with you today."
"Ms. Winfrey is recovering after dealing with a stomach virus and required an IV for dehydration as per her doctor's recommendation," the spokesperson said. "She is resting and feeling better each day."
Although she missed her appearance on the show, Winfrey posted on Instagram about her book club pick, "Familiaris" by David Wroblewski.
“Summer is here and I love to dive into a big book that lasts me through the season,” she wrote. “So today I’m thrilled to announce that my next @oprahsbookclub selection is ‘Familiaris’ by @davidw4words!”
The Quran - Chapter Ar-Rahman : 22 - 23
Out of both ˹waters˺ come forth pearls and coral.
Then which of your Lord’s favours will you both deny?
The meaning of لُّؤْلُؤُ lu'lu' is quite well-known, that is, 'pearl'. The word مَرْجَانُ marjan too is one of the 'precious jewels or gems'. It is a hard substance formed from coral which has branches like trees.
Both these precious jewels or gems are produced in the waters. It is generally understood that pearls and corals are both hunted or fished for in the salty waters, not in the fresh waters, whereas the verse states that they are fished for in both kinds of waters.
It is possible to reconcile the verse with the general understanding: Pearls as well as corals originate in sweet waters where it is not easy to hunt for or from which to fish out the gems or jewels.
The sweet waters flow into the salty waters where the substances are carried and deposited. The pearls and corals are brought out from there. Therefore, the source of the pearls and corals is said to be the salty seas.
