Power Duo!
The Imam brothers, sons of the late Hassan al Imam who was one of Egypt’s most famous filmmakers, are our favorite talented duo! These two were amazing together when it came to music. And of course Hussein Al Imam was a great actor, TV host and even chef!

“life is so short and it would be a complete waste to spend it on problems alone” Hussein Al Imam
Our Favorite Quote
In a Sahebat Al Sa’ada with Isaad Younis on CBC, just days before his death, Hussein Al Imam was quoted saying something that all of us need to do. “I do something, that for me it’s a bit like therapy. I have nothing to do with anything. I live in this bubble that is my own universe because you see, life is so short and it would be a complete waste to spend it on problems alone. And I know that anything that happens around us takes a toll on us, but we control what makes us happy and we control how our days go.”
