Family
Zane was born in Alexandria ( Egypt ) in the family of sheriff Jamal ibn Nasser, governor of Khauran and Vidjan-Khanim. Her father was the nephew of Hussein ibn Ali al-Hashimi , the sheriff of Mecca. Her mother was the daughter of Shakir Pasha, the Governor of Cyprus , the grand-nephew of Kamil Pasha .
Marriage and children
Zayn married her cousin of the Jordanian prince Talal ibn Abdullah on November 27, 1934. Zane gave Talal four sons and two daughters:
- King Hussein (November 14, 1935 - February 7, 1999)
- Princess Asma (died at birth in 1937)
- Prince Muhammad (born October 2, 1940)

Queen
Queen Zane played a prominent role in the political development of the Kingdom of Jordan in the early 1950s, engaged in charity work and the protection of women's rights .
She took part in writing the 1952 Constitution , which gave certain rights to women and contributed to the social development of the country. Queen Zane also created the first women's public unification of Jordan in 1944. She also held power in the aftermath of the assassination of King Abdullah I in 1951, while the newly proclaimed King Talal was treated outside the country. Queen Zane again took the reins in her hands in August 1952, when her son Hussein was proclaimed king until May 1953, when he assumed constitutional duties at the age of eighteen.
After an influx of Palestinian refugees into Jordan after the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, Queen Zane led a national program to help tens of thousands of refugees. She also played an important role in creating the women's section of the Jordanian National Red Crescent Society in 1948. Throughout her life, Queen Zane devoted time and energy to the Um Al-Hussein Orphanage in Amman .
In 1954, two years after her son ascended the throne, Queen Zane announced the engagement of the king and Dina bandage Abdul-Hamid . Dina was considered an ideal candidate, since she belonged to the Hashemite family and received an excellent Western education [1] . Dina was a strong personality, and the king's mother perceived her as a threat to her own status [2] . In 1956, while Queen Dina was on vacation in Egypt, King Hussein informed her of his intention to divorce. Hussein most likely did so at the instigation of his mother, Queen Zane [1] .
