The Algerian who was not forgotten by the departed.. and the verse he was affected by!
The poet Saud Sharbatly recalls the position of the artist Talal Maddah, when he parked his car in one of the European capitals, and got off it angrily next to the Islamic Center in the winter time and the weather was very cold, after he hit his hand with all force on the “car drum”, after he saw an Algerian person wrapping his hands in the cold. And in a lamentable state, he went down to him and talked to him and brought him to the car and put him in, and he took him to a fancy restaurant, and he said to me, Do you know who this is? I said no!, so he replied to me, saying: This, O Abu Sultan, is one of those whom “the ignorant person thinks are rich in chastity.” And he told me a text: “Its details will be found in Surat Al-Baqarah,” and he mentioned the verse and its number in detail! He gave him money, and reserved an apartment for him to live in, amidst the man's astonishment and gratitude. Talal was affected, following his condition daily, and this is a story he did not forget in his life and I will never forget!
Who is the "Daloua" that Talal searches for after every trip…and his dearest friend? Talal Maddah’s relationship with his family was close and warm, despite his endless preoccupations and endless relationships. He saw everything and was keen to be present at the most important turns of their lives. His daughter tells Talal Maddah’s sincerity to “Okaz” some of the secrets of this relationship, and some of the memories Which you do not forget and never talked about before, as she says: My relationship with my father, may God have mercy on him, was very strong, I was “the family’s sweetheart”, and I had a special interest in his heart, and the first question he asked my mother upon his return from any travel trip was, “Sleeping faithfulness or Are you awake?” And “Baba” adds, he is a very affectionate and family-oriented person. He never raised his voice or hand against any of his sons and daughters, and this is because he spent most of his time with us at home in the first period of his life. The people closest to him and about what he liked in his private life away from art, Ikhlas says, “My father was flexible and friendly and loved simplicity, even in his food and drink. As for his closest friends from the artistic community, she said: His loyal friend, my uncle Abadi Al-Johar, had a special place in his heart, and we all know it in the family. The tragic moment As for the most painful moment in the life of the late family, the tragedy of his sudden death, she recounts the details of “Okaz” faithfully, saying: It was a tragic, cruel and shocking event for us. I was at that time in Cairo, and it was a strange day in its events before the party, in which I felt a constriction of breath I've never felt it before. During the party, we received a call from someone we did not know, and he asked us to call and check on the father, because he passed out at the party, according to him. After that, the events continued, and my mother learned the sad news and tried to hide it from us, but she could not, so I conveyed it to us so that it would fall on us like a thunderbolt, and I will not be able to describe my feeling. Accurately, until now I do not believe this sudden, and I feel that at some point he might enter us with his smile and fatherly feelings that he kept surrounding us in his life. May God have mercy on him and forgive him. She concluded her private speech by saying, "My father was a great man. He is still alive in people's hearts, because before he was an exceptional artist, he was a great person."
Abdullah Maddah: My father's songs reveal what he hides from us! The stars of society have their public image that people know through their productions, but their “private” image related to the family and human aspect remains hidden except for the people of their homes and close friends, and this is the image that “Okaz” sought to clear some of its features through Abdullah, the son of the great artist Talal Maddah Rahma God, let's get acquainted closely with some of the features of this great artist, whose fame has reached the horizons. We asked him at the beginning about his reading of his father's general feelings about the developments of life, and he said: Most of the time, the father did not express his sorrows to us, and we could only know his private feelings through his songs and melodies. During these actions, what he feels inside him is sadness or joy. And about his father’s relations with Kawkab al-Sharq, Umm Kulthum, and the giant composer Muhammad Abdel-Wahhab, given that “Talal Maddah” was one of the stars whose relations extend throughout the Arab world. Talal, Abdel-Wahhab and Umm Kulthum through mutual friends and common denominators that bring them together. Regarding the establishment of a singing institute in the name of his father, Abdullah Maddah revealed that he had been thinking of establishing a great institute in the name of his father, but he took into account and calculated that this would only be in a manner befitting the greatness of the name and history of his father, and the implementation mechanism for the idea has not yet crystallized, perhaps due to lack of support or Because he has not yet sought to provide that support, he believes that the idea of the institute, despite its simplicity, should be of a high degree of excellence, and this is the basis.
