Mahameed was born in Israel about 1962 in a family that had lost its home in Al Lajjoun, Palestine, during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and settled in Um Al-Fahm. He had one sister and two brothers. He attended the Arab Orthodox College in Haifa and Hebrew University, which he left in 1984 to study business administration in Sweden. Returning to study law in Israel, he was admitted to the bar and set up his office in Nazareth.
Mahameed is married to Ezdehar, and they have two children. A German reporter noted that Mahameed "wears elegant patent-leather shoes, black pants, a white shirt and a traditional Palestinian headscarf."

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but the ignominy, the humiliation we feel that we must be what we are without any choice in the matter, and that this humiliation is seen by everyone.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“Life is not an easy matter.... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
