Weddad (Arabic: وداد, lit. “Song of Hope”) is a 1936 Egyptian romantic musical film.
Weddad, also transliterated as Wydad, is based on a romantic tale inspired by Omar Khayyam's One Thousand and One Nights. The biggest production of its time, it was the film debut of Um Kalthoum.[1][2][3] The film's success turned Misr Studios into the top studio in Egypt.
The sports team Wydad AC in Casablanca, Morocco, is named after the film.[4][5]
