Nour al-Sharif did not skimp on the television audience, despite being a first-class movie star for many years, but he entered a different area in the world of television drama, and also became a strong competitor at the Ramadan drama table with various social, religious and historical works that have become signs of Egyptian and Arab drama.

Historical figures who stirred controversy

The Egyptian actor Nour El-Sherif, whose 76th birthday falls on April 28, 1946, is one of the artists who presented the most historical and religious works, especially with director Ahmed Tawfik, who formed a duet with him and presented with him 3 historical works, all of which sparked controversy at the time of their presentation for various reasons.

Beginning with the series "Omar bin Abdulaziz, the Fifth of the Rightly Guided Caliphs", during which he embodied the character of the Umayyad Caliph Omar bin Abdulaziz, and despite the great success that accompanied the series at the time of its presentation, and its author Abdul Salam Amin's reliance on important historical books and references, some errors caused In the attack on him, it is like talking about the Iraqi city of "Baghdad", which was built about 50 years after his departure, in addition to the error that his country extended from China to the Atlantic Ocean, and this is historically incorrect.

In the character of "The Unknown Prince - Harun al-Rashid", the work reviewed the story of the Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid, who was embodied by Nour al-Sharif, and although the series received many awards, it was also criticized at the time, and its makers were accused of focusing on a narrow personal aspect in Harun al-Rashid's life and his interest in women. His reign was marked by strength and prosperity.

However, these criticisms did not dissuade Nour Al-Sharif from his love for presenting this type of work, so he also presented the character of Amr Ibn Al-Aas in the series "Man of Destinies", and this time he worked on the series for 3 years, and studied the character well, before his episodes were shown in 2003 And he dealt with the story of Ibn al-Aas in two stages, the first before Islam, and the second after his conversion to Islam and his defense of it.

This time, the Al-Azhar institution insisted on deleting scenes related to the Great Sedition and the killing of Othman bin Affan, which saddened Nour Al-Sharif, who commented at the time in a press interview, saying, “By reading the books of authentic heritage and Islamic history, we discover that the ancient researchers from al-Tabari to Ibn Kathir to Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya were More objective than modern researchers, as they mentioned the event in all its vocabulary without feeling embarrassed to support one side over another, and it is certain that the character of Amr Ibn Al-Aas is a highly controversial figure, and this is the main reason that prompted me to accept the series to move the mind of the viewer to search for the truth, despite The religious censorship represented in Al-Azhar insisted on deleting scenes related to the major sedition and arbitration, and the TV censorship agreed with it.

But the makers of the show committed to removing those scenes.

He continued, "The character of Amr bin Al-Aas is primarily dramatic, and this is represented in two important issues, the first relates to the incident of his mother's capture, and she is a young woman, as 4 men assaulted her, including Al-Aas, who was attributed to him for the presence of a great similarity between them, and the second issue was represented in his short stature. And both of them formed this character who consciously decided to be great and was helped by his fearsome cunning.

Nour Sharif presented the character of the Arab world Ibn Khaldoun in the mid-eighties with director Ibrahim Al-Sahn, a work that was filmed in Morocco and co-starring Bossi and Anwar Ismail, and the series is a script and dialogue by Mustafa Muharram.

In 2013, Nour al-Sharif had a radio series experience about Nasser Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi, during which he presented the latter's character.

The series is written and directed by Ahmed Fathallah.

As for modern history, he presented the intelligence drama in the series "The Fox" through the character of Shawkat Fahmy, a very shrewd intelligence officer, who was nicknamed the Fox.

social drama hero

The interest in religious and historical works did not prevent Nour Al Sharif from presenting social drama for many years, during which he competed with the stars of the drama, but he was able to achieve popularity that a star like him did not enjoy at the time, especially his role in the series “I Will Not Live in My Father’s Jilbab” taken from the story of the writer Ihsan Abdel Quddous Screenplay and dialogue by Mustafa Muharram and directed by Ahmed Tawfik.

The irony is the introduction of Nour Al-Sharif, who was known for his extensive culture, the personality of Haj Abdul Ghafour Al-Borai, an uneducated but self-made person who started his life from scratch and became one of the wealthy, in addition to the love story that brought him together with Fatima Koshary (Abla Kamel) and later, after many years, topped the social media platforms Although the work was shown in 1996.

the scales

The late artist continued to present popular works, as he presented the “Ashouriya Al-Harafish” biography, followed by “Al-Attar and the Seven Girls” and then “Hadrat Al-Muthham Abi,” to present the “Al-Dali” series in 3 parts, and Nour Al-Sharif was able to shed light on many new faces from them. Hassan El-Raddad, Ahmed Safwat, Amr Youssef, Enas Kamel, Dina Fouad, and before them Rania Youssef and Mustafa Shaaban in the series "The Family of Hajj Metwally".

In the series "Matkhafoush", he played the character of a satellite channel owner who faces Zionist lies, but is exposed to many crises.

A few years after his last drama, Nour El-Sharif began his journey with illness and treatment, and in the meantime, he filmed his last movie, "Cairo Time", which was shown in 2015, the same year in which Nour El-Sharif died on August 11, leaving rich and important personalities Her body in the Egyptian drama.
