One week after her death at the age of 72, Omar El Fishawy, the son of renowned artist Soumaya El Alfi, disclosed the significant testament his mother left for him and his brother Ahmed El Fishawy.
In televised remarks, Omar shared that his mother was always dedicated to preserving family bonds, stressing the need to avoid letting disagreements affect their relationship. He stated:
"Mom always advised us to take care of each other, me and Ahmed; she would say never to let anything separate or distance us from one another."

El Alfi, who gained prominence in the Egyptian art scene during the 1970s, was married to the late actor Farouk El Fishawy and had two sons, Ahmed and Omar, despite facing numerous challenges in their relationship.
Despite what some referred to as "betrayals" from her husband, Soumaya El Alfi had previously affirmed in interviews that Farouk El Fishawy was her one true love, even after his passing.
