'Sukkar' the First Arab Musical Movie


The MBC Group, a Saudi-based production company, is getting ready to distribute "Sukkar", the first Arab musical movie across the MENA region. This charming story, written by Kuwaiti author Heba Mishari Hamada, is about a group of orphans, including the title character 'Sukkar', who face difficulties in life together. Sukkar is an important narrative that uses the song to depict the journey of these kids as they cling to their ambitions in the face of adversity. It is inspired by Jean Webster's novel "Daddy Longs Legs".

Hala Al Turk, who shot to prominence on "Arabs Got Talent" in 2011, starred in the Tamer Mahdy-directed movie. Sukkar is fundamentally a heartwarming tale of a young child's journey that shows Sukkar and her companions' courage in the face of challenges and still hope for a better future. Ratiba, the orphanage's administrator and the villain of the story complicates the plot as the kids work to improve their lives, hold onto their religion, and give their existence some purpose.

Yasmin Al-Abd, Moataz Hisham, Dima Ahmed, Bavly Remon, Hajar Mohamed, and Mohamed Harbi are just a few of the amazing cast members of 'Sukkar'. Famous people like comedian Mohamed Tharwat and iconic actress Magda Zaki give their star power to the movie, while the musical score, which was created by Egyptian musician Ahmed Saad with lyrics by Heba Meshary Hamada, enhances the emotions of the narrative. The other two members of the creative team behind this unique cinematic experience are composers Ehab Abdel Wahed and Ahmed Tareq Yehya.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
