A wedding plan with the Syrian singer Farid Al Atrash will not come to fruition while her marriage to the radio engineer Fathi Aziz will end after just two years due to the latter's jealousy. Her meeting with the actor Salah Zulfikar in 1961 led Shadia to remarriage. The partnership between the two will last seven years and will bring great professional successes. They will pair up in 6 films, giving life to a famous duet that will become a classic of Egyptian cinema.

Many critics consider her the most successful Egyptian artist of all time and her song "Ya Habibti Ya Masr" (Oh Egypt, my love) is considered one of the best patriotic songs ever Nicknamed "The idol of the masses", following her participation in the film of the same name, at the beginning of the 1980s she found herself facing a particularly difficult moment that brought her closer to religion. She will go on a pilgrimage to Mecca for the haj. During this period she will come into contact with Sheikh Muhammad Metwalli al-Sha'rawi, popular Islamic preacher, former minister of Mamdouh Salem's government in 1976, with whom she would form a strong spiritual relationship.

Following this meeting she will begin to wear the hijab and she will decide to end her acting career to dedicate herself to charity. She will donate all the money she earned during her career as an actress and singer to charities for the care of orphaned children, stating that she made this decision without doubt or hesitation. In 2017 she will be hospitalized in Cairo in intensive care following a serious stroke.

Fatma Kamal El Din Ahmed Shaker, conosciuta  con il nome d’arte  Shadia, è stata un attrice e cantante egiziana simbolo dell’età dell’oro del cinema egiziano e vera icona  nella regione del Medio Oriente.

Nata 8 febbraio 1931 al Cairo nel quartiere di Al Helmia Al Jadida da padre egiziano e madre di origine turca, Shadia si è dedicata alla musica già in giovane età nel corso della scuola elementare incoraggiata in questo in particolare dal padre che ha sempre  creduto fortemente nel suo talento

La prima parte della sua carriera interesserà principalmente il mondo del cinema. Nel 1947, all’età di 16 anni, risponderà ad un annuncio pubblicato dal regista Ahmed Badrakhan alla ricerca di volti nuovi . Comincerà cosi il suo viaggio all’interno del mondo della settima arte con il nuovo nome da lei stessa scelto.

I suoi primi film, melodrammi, film romantici e commedie, recitati sotto la direzione di registi quali Helmy Rafla , Fatin Abdel Wahab, Hassan Helmy e Hassan El Emam, la ritraevano in ruoli di donna carina, vivace e frizzante.
In particolare il suo lavoro con il regista Helmy Rafla le spalancherà le porte della notorietà e le permetterà di recitare accanto ai più grandi attori dell'epoca come Mohamed Fawzi , nel film “Sahiba el malalim ” nel 1949, e l’usignolo del Nilo Abd el halim Hafez in “Ma’abuda Al Jamahir”.

Agli inizi della sua carrierà si innamorerà perdutamente di un pilota di caccia che purtroppo morirà nel corso del conflitto intercorso tra Egitto ed Israele nel 1948.
Questo fatto le causerà un grande dolore, ma supportata da suo padre e dai fratelli riuscirà a affrontare il momento difficile e parallelamente alla sua attività di attrice continuerà gli studi.

Gli anni tra il 1953 e il 1961 segneranno l’apice del suo successo. Alla carriera di attrice affiancherà quella di cantante ottenendo ampio consenso . Si sposerà con il leggendario attore Emad Hamdy , di venti anni più anziano di lei, dal quale divorzierà tre anni dopo.
Un progetto di matrimonio con il cantante siriano Farid Al Atrash non andrà in porto mentre il matrimonio con l'ingegnere radiofonico Fathi Aziz finirà dopo soli due anni a causa della gelosia di quest’ultimo.

L’incontro con l’attore Salah Zulfikar nel 1961 porterà Shadia a nuove nozze. Il sodalizio tra i due durerà sette anni e frutterà grandi successi professionali. Faranno coppia in 6 film dando vita ad un famoso duetto che diverrà un classico del cinema egiziano.

Nel corso della sua carriera Shadia ha recitato in 150 film e ha registrato 500 canzoni di successo. Ha cantato molte canzoni patriottiche che sono ancora ricordate dagli egiziani di tutto il mondo. Molti critici la considerano l'artista egiziana di maggior successo di tutti i tempi e il suo Il brano "Ya Habibti Ya Masr" (Oh Egitto, amore mio) è considerata una delle migliori canzoni patriottiche di sempre.

Soprannominata “ L’idolo delle masse” , in seguito alla sua partecipazione all’omonimo film, all’inizio degli anni ‘80 si troverà ad affrontare un momento particolarmente difficile che la riavvicinerà alla religione. Si recherà in pellegrinaggio alla Mecca per l'haj.  In questo periodo  entrerà in contatto con  Sheikh Muhammad Metwalli al-Sha'rawi
, popolare predicatore islamico, già ministro del governo di Mamdouh Salem  nel 1976, con il quale stringerà un forte rapporto spirituale.
 

In seguito a questo incontro  comincerà ad indossare  l'hijab e  deciderà di porre fine alla sua carriera di attrice per dedicarsi alla beneficenza .
Donerà   tutto il denaro guadagnato durante la sua carriera di attrice e cantante a enti di beneficenza per la  cura dei bambini orfani affermando di avere preso questa decisione senza dubbi o esitazioni.

Nel 2017 sarà ricoverata al Cairo in terapia intensiva in seguito ad un grave ictus. Sebbene sembravano notarsi segnali di ripresa, la sua condizione clinica subirà un peggioramento e Shadia morirà il 28 Novembre 2017 per insufficienza respiratoria causata da una polmonite.
