I'm American, and I don't speak a word of Arabic... but I absolutely viscerally KNOW her voice. It would kill you with laughter to hear me singing along with the whole "Fakarouni" album, without any idea of what I'm saying. Just so evocative, such an angel, such an artist.
Oh, so you stumbled on my favorite song (Fakkarouni) of her. Lyrics and music are unbelievable.
Dear Koret, if you need to know anything regarding the sone, I’ll be happy to.
Love this 😊❤
I'm Indonesian and I was born in 1985, but her songs reminds me of my childhood when my dad always listening to her records..
@Alfred Einstein R u kidding me ?! Then why so many naats, nasheeds,hamds,kalaams,qawwalis ?!...
Only songs with haram contents like that which promotes alcoholism, objectification,drugs,etc...
Many western songs,rap songs fall into that category and those are indeed haram for Muslims...
35 years ago I used to live and work in Dubai, UAE for 5 years. We used to get work break between 1pm to 4pm. There was a radio station that used to play Umm Kulthum songs every day between 2pm and 3pm. I was hooked to that station and now 30 years later I listen to her songs almost daily. Her voice, composers, and musicians, all are remarkable. I am not an Arab by the way, but I have been learning Arabic ever since. May her soul rest in peace.
I am from Somalia and still listening to her! My dad who was educated in Egypt listened to her. And I got hooked too!
I'm a Filipino, born 8 years after her death. Listing to her songs for the first time I so was amazed how she sings .
She is not only for Arab she is for all universe
💕 Pakistan
I am Turkish and I just discovered her recently. I have fascinated by her angelic voice. But I am glad to find this video now. And it's an honor to watch video that our main broadcast channel has prepared about her
Blond haired, blue eyed American here. I grew up in Saudi in the 50’s and 60’s. Wandering the back streets there were two voices to be heard over the radio. One was Nasser (listen in secret at this time) and the other voice was Um Kulthum. To this very day I hear her voice and she is Mother Earth to me. I absolutely float away when listening to that amazing voice.
In south of Iran everybody loves her
Love Her / From Bosnia 🌟🤲❤️
Those were the golden times of Arabs especially Egyptions
🇵🇰❤️❤️🇵🇰
I have been listening to her for about 65 years. Still I listen and enjoy. Thank you so much ❤️
The girl with the hijab honestly described it accurately when she said shes my only friend at night but i have something to add though, to me her words made me feel like she understood why love is hard at times and how seeing a person you used to love can ignite that spark again but her songs that are about moving on because its better for you both to do so make me have goosebumps to this day. Im 24 and she died over 50 years ago and i still feel like she gets it. When something is that timeless then i feel like it has proven itself to be called a masterpiece.

LOVE AND RESPECT FROM LONDON ENGLAND . MASHALLAH
It s amazing to have this feeling of nostalgia for something that you never actually experienced. This voice, these melodies, and few of the lyrics I understand resonate with me and my past even though it was not culturally related to these sounds. ...as if I existed in another life somewhere in Egypt, before I was born in Greece in 1988!
10000% agree with you!
wow, i didnt know someone outside the arab culture can relate to her music. i am so flashed to hear
There are still huge fans of her in Turkey. We maybe don't understand what she's telling in her songs but we can feel her sadness very wel.
a diehard fan of um kulthum from India.
My favorites inta omri, ana fintzarik, ghanili shuwayi, etc
3.17 Maria Kallas talking about Umm's voice being imcomparable, makes me think how humble she really was , since her own voice was incmoparable.
Who have been watching TRT World for more than a year?❤
👇😊
Um kalthum is the vocalist!!! probably one of the best or even the best vocalist to ever live . She is a constent in every arab or arab speaking country everyone knows her songs and evrery arab singer is inspired by her (wether he knows it or not😂) every run or riff that you hear in arabic music today she did it first.with her voice she united all the arab speaking people .we love and respect her deeply ,may god grant her peace and happiness as much as she brought and still bring to our hearts till this day .
I am 16 and still listening
I'm from somalia and I love um kulthum❤
do you even know her LMAO
@@user-ud3yv1hl7k how do you know what i know, are you god?
@@LordBandit200 astaghfirullah atheem. did i say that? my comment was clearly a joke.
She is the best and greatest singer in history at the level of all human beings and has the strongest voice and sweetest voice
I love her songs, I don't understand Arabic however I appreciate her voice & music.
Haha I can help you with that
People in the video and in the comments are making it about the memories, when its about her performance, uncomparable strong and deep voice, her outstanding vocal ability and the intricacy of the music and the lyrics. People were insane about her in her days already when she was a yong lady, not reminding them of anything. Don't reduce her beauty to memories, she is an iconic artist with a great uncomparable talent.
m from pakistan....bur her voice has that magic in it that u can sense easily
Duffer
@@sleepyjoe7518 says a cow worshiper 😂
@Foot Made yup....i know arabic ...as i have lived there for a longtime
@@fazehamster9543 ignore him....whats the point of replying....they have a permanent insecurity...and personality problem...so better let them get there catharsis out by crying out
I have never heard of this woman, but because her voice is so nice to hear and her songs are true to the heart as the presenters have said and explained about their families and countries, she will be one of my go to artists that I will reference for good wholesome music.
+al-Haifawi I am sure she is very well known abroad too being that many around the word adored her music but for me this is the first time I hear about her perhaps because I don’t listen to any Arabic musics... but her music is impacting and drives home the point of humanity and friendship as well as other things too.
Now after one year, could tell us more, please?
I’ve grown up in the UAE hearing her music and it’s now that I know it’s her mashallah
@محمد الجابري yess
From Kenya I listen to um kulthum
Her music not only remains time less but border less I don't have any connection with Egypt or Egyptians but I love her music and her poet Ahmed Ramni
Umm kulthum🥰
ياااست يامشرفانا ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful
I have a big congrats on the journalism here.. It brought out a clear picture of this heroine
يا سيت العظيمة يا وطنية!! الله يرحمه
Ana fe intazarak
Is my favorite...
wahenk ya arab i love this songs
Probably one of my favourite artists of all time. Although I only speak a little arabic, her voice and the accompanying instrumentals carry the meaning with ease.
I wish mainstream western music recognised her a bit more. Kawkab el charq and nothing less
We heard her as children and she was special
Incomparable and unique
Didn't know she is the person behind the voice 😻🙏🕊️
I only discovered her last month, coming ftom another continent of course.
She is truly amazing and definitely she is my inspiration. At the moment I do a lot of belly dancing but also I am learning arabic slowly, as it is pretty difficult.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
14 and listening
There are famous stories about how difficult it was to get a ticket to her concerts. So, thieves used to buy the tickets, and leave them at a random stranger's door. The stranger wouldn't believe his luck, and wouldn't miss the chance to attend her concert, giving the thieves an exact time and date of when the house they want to rob would be empty.
Some of the songs that foreigners listen to Umm Kulthum was at the age of 70, what do you think if they listen to her recordings when she is 50 or 40 years old, there are recordings that have a miracle sound that will not have a uniform no matter how advanced the ages Umm Kulthum is the fourth pyramid of Egypt 🇪🇬
معاك حق. مثلا اغنية " الأولة في الغرام " انا اعتبرها معجزة صوتية
You Know Lata Mangeskar or Not
Beautiful voice
fun fact: In many of um kulthum's concerts (pre 67'), you can see a shining object on her chest. That is a massive diamond, after egypt lost the war , she sold the diamond to some royalty. Add that to her countless concerts in europe and the arab world. She didn't partially fund the military with the money she made, if it weren't for her the egyptian military would not exsist, her funding of the egyptian military was so crucial to the war effort .that if it had not happened, it would have had a massive effect on the arab republic of egypt to this day. Europeans were completely aware of where the money they gave her was going, but they could not resist not listening to her in their home countries. In russia, such things are called "the power of art"
All arabs love this women.
Yabancıların Ümmü Gülsüm'ü 70 yaşında dinlediği şarkılardan bazıları, 50-40 yaşlarındayken kayıtlarını dinleseler ne dersiniz, tek tip olamayacak mucizevi bir sese sahip kayıtlar var. çağlar ne kadar ileri olursa olsun Ümmü Gülsüm Mısır'ın dördüncü piramididir 🇪🇬
If they asked me, I would have said she is eternal because she performed the human different feelings beautifully and strongly like no one else did or will do. She make you see and touch the feeling in 3D way. Who ever did that before for humans feeling ( love, anger, missing, mourning, blaming, and leaving a relationship or get into a new Relationship.... Etc.. amazing
3.21 I listen to her at 7 am and dance of course. She doe not make me sad.
Iam born at 1994, how can i knew who born earlier then me😂👍🏽
It is narrated in an Authentic hadith that the Messenger of Allah pbuh said that the punishment of a person who listens to music will be molten iron poured into his or her ears (During Yaumul Qiyamah-the day of judgement)😫😫😫😫😫......May Allah Azzawajal save us from all punishments and grant us Jannatul Firdous......Allahumma Ameen🤲🤲🤲
@Firdaus Helmi Ohhh I didn't know but let me confirm with my Shaykh..........but all in all, music of nowadays have nothing but misguidance in them. Even nasheeds are corrupted. Tell me any music of this days that lacks musical instruments which was prohibited by Rasoolullah Aleyhi Salaatu Wasalaam. Personally I decided to quit music a month before Ramadhan 2020 Alhamdulillah. Quran is more beautiful and peaceful ( Checkout Shaykh Hassan Swaleh ....beautiful voice MashaAllah ).
Don't be a judge, jury and executioner! If you don't like music put some plugs in your ears.
@@MuhammadAli-hr1bj Chill bro I was just trying to give Dawah for the sake of Allah swt
@@user-ds4gs7xl2s well, you're an idiot for not thinking for yourself, why would God prohibit music? Throughout Islamic history music was a way of life, sheikhs just want to poison your mind. Oh well, another salafi, we need to get rid of all of you burdens on humanity, and wuickly
@@ThinkingCosmonaut Astaghfirullah.......you abuse me for trying to give Dawah.....may Allah Azzawajal forgive you and guide you to the straight path.....the way of the Salafis.
I don't wanna judge or anything but I feel like some Muslims are less religious than before not saying that any of these ppl are bad
@A Yna ik
She’s just like Xaliimo khaliif (magool)
Halimo kaliif she’s somali singer
THE QUEEN VOICE OF SOMALIA
A Yna yes
@A Yna what do you mean no
She's like Celia Cruz for us in Latin America
So does Nusrat Fateh ali khan sab. I think his music is beyond the borders of sub continent...
She is older then him way more older then him
@@abdalsaeedahmed9895Correct
She Is Very Old
She Is 40Years Older Than Nusrat Ji
Years ago (approximately 1979), I asked an Egyptian friend, who would be considered the Barbra Streisand, of Egypt. And he said without hesitation, 'Umm Kulthum'.
❤😊🎶
To compare the 2 would be an insult to Om Kalthoum. There is NO comparison, they are not even in the same Galaxy.
TRT please disable comments, too many stupid people in the comment section
She is the nusrat fateh ali of the arab world. Ditto same cultural influence on subcontinent people. Nusrat for me was the same like ladies explained here, hate in teenage but it just hit me up once on a cab ride in my adulthood, always been a nusrat fan since.
I dont understand her words she speaks, but her voice has such a feeel omg its like the music syncs with how she sings rather than she syncing with the music.
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Wish I understood arabic 💔
كوكب الشرق ام كلثوم... تحياتي لكم... محمد أبو الفضل
Bjork admires Umm Kulthum a lot, which I think is amazing.
*Noor jahan or lata mangeshkar for arab world SIMPLE AS THAT*
She is older then her and her voice has more power
Seems you didn't got the reason why Um Kulthoum's voice is so unique. Her voice range is hard to challenge. We tend to compare. But its really not fair to compare anyone to Um Kulthoum.
I Am An Indian,
How Should I Try To Connect With Her Voice?
im arab and idk her
Like NFAK
من قام يهتف باسم ذاتك قبلنا | من كان يدعو الواحد القهارا
عبدوا الكواكب والنجوم جهالة | لم يبلغوا من هديها انوارا
هل أعلن التوحيد داع قبلنا | وهدى القلوب إليك والأنظارا
ندعوا جهاراً لا إله سوى الذي | صنع الوجود وقدّر الأقدارا
إذا الأيمان ضاع فلا امان | ولا دنيا لمن لم يحي دينا
ومن يرضى الحياة بغير دين | فقد جعل الفناء لها قرينا
وفي التوحيد للهمم اتحاد | ولن تبنوا العلا متفرقينا
ألم يبعث لأمتكم نبي | يوحدكم على نهج الوئام
ومصحفكم وقبلتكم جميعاً | منار للأخوة والسلام
وفوق الكل رحمنٌ رحيمٌ | إله واحد رب الأنام
"Holy person" says the woman that wears the Hijab. If only she really understood the word "Holy".. smh 🤦🏻♂️
I have never ever heard someone calls her holy. They call her Umm Kalthom, planet of the East and the lady. Just.
She naiv
I want to wear Hijab .Read the QURAN in English it's LOVE YOU ALL Isis is Fake ..

Spreading something aesthetic and profoundly beautiful is not HARAM. On the contrary, she is only highlighting divinity.

Don't understand you mate
These "Younger" people in the video don't understand the Depth of Om Kalthoum, her voice, the music (Real Arabic complex music, not like most of the Garbage most today's Arabic singers sing where they try to imitate the West). Listen to her pronunciation of the Arabic Grammer (if you understand Arabic), the Poetry in the words she sang. Om Kalthoum spent days on the correct pronunciation of the Words without the well known Egyptian accent. So she sang in proper Grammer Arabic. She moved people with her voice. It was said that Egypt lost the War because people were so drunk from her voice (They had to blame someone so instead of blaming the Useless leaders, blame Om Kalthoum). She also according to what I read, had an extra vocal cord in her throat. So normal microphones could not handle her voice & would blow up. They made special microphones for her & if you look, you will see that microphones are placed a bit far away from her. Kings and Presidents used to go to her Concerts. Artists like her & Abdelhalim are one of a kind.

make a video about the ottaman empire and how they treated arabs, armenians, kurds, and all ethnitities, and how they helped germany, if the turks helped defeat hitler, arabs wouldnt be suffering and even we would be one country in the middle east...u only focus about arabs u forgot the mistake turks did, our rulers are traitors but who helped in that accidently and why did turkey the only muslim country recognized israel as a country before arabs and why do they trade with them openly, suck double standards, we love our muslim turks and we dont judge by political reasons, what trt is doing is spreading hate against arabs, we're not the same, only a minorty love this, as a minority in turkey hate arabs and they racist towards them and they do not want to see even arabic signs or language in their country, allthought it is the language of the holy quran
We did not lose the war against israel in 67’ the war was against the land of Sinai which is still very much a part of egypt. Get ur facts straight please
We later signed a peace treaty with Israel that allows them to only enter sinai and nowhere else in Egypt

May Allah forgive her transgressions.!
She is like the magool of somalia.
Does the lady understand what holy means. Nothing besides Allah, the prophets, the books and angels are holy.
Not true, don't generalize
That's why Allah degrading muslim country.. they prefer listen to female singer rather than listen to the words of ummul mukmineen aisyah.. lets not forget the story of ziryab in andalusia..
What is happening to us is a test rather than a punishment since if that was the reason then other countries would get punished worse since they all admire musicians and their music rather than the Quran and compared to the Muslim countries they don't read Quran that much so shouldn't they be punished more by your reasoning?
People like you is the reason Muslim countries are degraded

Hey there 👋
I sincerely ask the TRT team to try to edit their content and not include the music in the background, for it is haram and each time someone has access to it, you share the burden of sin and gain bad deeds as well. Of course, the same goes to anything haram, like a woman who’s uncovered being featured or anything else.
God bless you all, and may Allah give you success in doing what satisfies him, and in giving voices to the ones who can’t speak and for the unheard 🙏🏻
0:15 🤢🤮 holy?
"There will be among my Ummah people who will regard as permissible adultery, silk, alcohol and musical instruments".
May Allah protect Muslims not to fall in the traps of Shaitan. Ameen
I only like her because I heard her voice growing up so she invokes nostalgia BUT in my opinion her voice was not the best nor was she the greatest female arab singer. There are other Arab female voices I find to be a lot more special and amazing
I think she was so polular because there weren't a lot of singer women at the time, of course she was very good, and her songs were also remarquably well written.
@@user-is7ie3eq2m when she started singing in the 1940s there were'nt much female singers, but in tge 1960s / 1970s there were a lot of them. However, she was already famous and receiving the best poems and best music Arab musicians / poets could offer
@@imadma9628 j
It's not about cute or beautiful as in voice but rather the power to convey emotion through her voice and control it as well as her voice being powerful(when she would perform they would put the microphone 2~3 meters away since her voice is too strong and she would sing for more than 2 hours each song which is insane and she doesn't sound tired)
👎👎👎👎
I wonder sometimes that these Arabs knows aarabic better than us and they don't know the sayings of Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H
Highlighting a "singer" as "holy" and "great" as she conquered Jerusalem or freed innocent Palestinians, Syrians, Yemenis who are oppressed

You are very wrong, TRT is pro-Muslim, pro-suppressed, meaning automatically pro-Mid-Easterns/Easterners under western occupation. And if you are surrounded by the propagandas of Zionist friends, Putschist Al Sissi or UAE, of course you don’t see it.
