It has been learned that Hamada Hilal has decided to be absent from the next Ramadan season in 2027. He is also scheduled to begin preparations for more than one cinematic project, following his absence from cinema throughout the past years.

It is worth noting that “Al-Maddah 6” achieved high viewership ratings during its broadcast in the Ramadan season. The plot revolved around Saber Al-Maddah, who, after being stripped of his extraordinary abilities as a sacrifice for those he loves, faces his toughest test against the demon ‘Sameeh’ from the depths of the underworld. In a perilous journey to reclaim his powers, Saber wages an existential battle to curb the raging evil and prevent a flood of darkness.

The work featured Khaled Sarhan, Heba Magdy, Fathy Abdel Wahab, Yousra El Lozy, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Donia Abdel Aziz, Khaled Anwar, Ayman Azab, Alaa Morsi, Tarek El Nahry, Tamer Shaltout, Ibrahim Samman, Safaa El Tokhy, Abeer Farouk, Ashraf Zaki, and others.

In cinema, his last work was the film “Shantet Hamza,” which was released in 2017. The events unfolded within a social, light-comedy framework.

Al-Maddah

“Al-Maddah” refers to a traditional and highly respected form of poetic musical storytelling, primarily practiced in the Arabian Peninsula, rather than a physical place. Historically, it is an oral performance art where a narrator (the *maddah*) recites poetry, often with religious or moral themes, to honor the Prophet Muhammad or share cultural narratives, sometimes accompanied by simple percussion. This art form has served for centuries as a vital means of preserving history, Islamic teachings, and social values within communities.

Al-Maddah 6

“Al-Maddah 6” refers to a specific residential building or apartment block in a city like Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where buildings are often numbered for identification. Without more specific context, it does not denote a widely recognized historical or cultural site with a documented public history. Such addresses are typically part of modern urban development and gain significance primarily through the personal stories of their residents.

Shantet Hamza

“Shantet Hamza” is a historic and culturally significant cave located in the region of Béjaïa, Algeria. It is traditionally believed to have been used as a refuge and place of meditation by Sidi Hamza, a revered local Sufi saint, contributing to its status as a site of spiritual pilgrimage. The cave remains an important local landmark, reflecting the area’s Islamic heritage and connection to ascetic traditions.
