Fatima is the daughter of Sheikh Al-Muezzin Ibrahim Al-Sayyid Al-Beltaji and is also known by her famous nickname Um Kalthoum, as well as several titles, including: Thoma, Arab League, Six, Lady of Arabic Singing, Shams al-Aseel, Al-Asma, Planet of the East, Harp of the East

First Band

Mohammed al-Kassabji began to prepare Um Kulthoum artistically and morally, forming her own band, and the first musical bed to be a substitute for the lining of the generals that she had always been with, when Rose al-Yousef and the theater launched a lightning attack on her lining. Perhaps this is why her father gave up his role as a vocalist and withdrew him and Sheikh Khalid. About a year later, Um Kulthoum took off the calves and abaya and appeared in the costume of Egyptian ladies, after the death of Sheikh (Abu al-Ala Muhammad), who left a great spiritual influence in her and was her guide in the world of tarab.

In the early 20th century, it was common for singers to present certain poems regardless of the uniqueness of one of them, and the match between the singers was how to perform the same poem. Um Kulthoum performed a poem (Arak Al-Ba'asi al-Tears) once composed by Al-Sinbati, and again by Abdu al-Hamuli in 1926.
