During an Iftar gathering organized by the Egyptian Armed Forces in Cairo, President El-Sisi jokingly asked Samah Hussein, "Where's the qataif, Hussein?" to which Hussein responded laughing, "They've all been eaten, Mr. President," which lightened the atmosphere among the attendees.
In another conversation about the program, El-Sisi asked about the cost of advertising for the show. Hussein replied, "We, Mr. President, made the program for the sake of God, and we didn't spend a penny on advertising, but the Egyptians took care of that and did the best advertising for the program." El-Sisi humorously followed up with, "So, since you didn't spend money on advertising, how much profit did you make from the program?" which caused everyone to laugh.

In a related context, the Minister of Endowments of Egypt, Dr. Osama Al-Azhari, honored Samah Hussein at the ministry's headquarters in the New Administrative Capital, recognizing his distinguished artistic contributions, particularly the "Qataif" program. The minister presented Hussein with a copy of the book *What Happened to the Egyptians?* by the renowned author Galal Amin, along with a ministry shield, a certificate of appreciation, and a copy of the Holy Quran.
Dr. Al-Azhari emphasized that the content of "Qataif" reflects creativity and conveys moral, ethical, and humanitarian messages that contribute to enhancing societal values and building cultural awareness. He highlighted that conscious art plays a crucial role in the journey of enlightenment and the formation of the Egyptian character.
The "Qataif" program airs daily on Samah Hussein’s social media platforms, delivering ethical and humanitarian messages in a straightforward style that is suitable for all age groups.
