Early Life
Qasem Al-Nasser was born in April 1925 in Idoun, a village in Irbid to the North of Amman in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Formerly 1921–1946 the Emirate of Transjordan). His Father, Sheikh Mohammad Al-Mahmoud Al-Abdullah Al-Nasser Khasawneh, served as the Vice General Director of the Agricultural Credit Corporation. Major-General Al-Nasser had his primary and secondary education in Amman. Abdelmunim al-Rifai (former Prime Minister of Jordan 1969–1970) and Fawzi al-Mulki (former Prime Minister of Jordan 1953–1954) were amongst his teachers at that time. However, Al-Nasser got his higher degree from the Secondary school of Irbid in 1943. The same year, in 22 September, he was commissioned into the Jordanian Armed Forces (formerly known as the 'Arab Army').

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
