His biography

He was born in Jerusalem to the Al-Husseini family in 1904 and studied at the Rashidiya School, moving from there to the Salihi College , the Frere School, and then to the English College , from which he graduated with a high school diploma [2] . In 1923 , he moved to Cairo , where he joined the American University in Cairo and graduated from it in 1925 with a diploma in journalism. He returned to Jerusalem and worked as a teacher in the Rashidiya School for two years, but he soon returned to Cairo and joined the Faculty of Arts at the American University and obtained a Bachelor of Arts in 1929 . During his stay in Cairo, he got to know a number of intellectual figures such as Taha Hussein and Mansour Fahmy Ali Abdel Razek admired the Liberal Constitutional Party.

After graduating, he joined the Institute of Oriental Studies of the University of London and returned to Jerusalem in 1934 after obtaining a diploma in Comparative Semitic Languages and a doctorate for a thesis he wrote on Ibn Qutaybah under the supervision of the orientalist Hamilnon Gebb . He initially taught briefly at the Rashidiya School, then moved to the Arabic College, where he worked for twelve years until he was appointed in 1946 as Supreme Inspector of the Arabic Language, and he remained in this position until 1948 .

After the Nakba, he left for Beirut and worked as a professor at the American University of Beirut until 1955, when he settled in Cairo and worked as a professor at the American University in Cairo, in addition to teaching at the Institute for Arab Research and Studies of the League of Arab States.

In 1961 , he was chosen as a member of the Arabic Language Academy in Cairo and the Iraqi Scientific Academy in Baghdad. In 1963 , he became a member of the Islamic Research Academy of Al-Azhar . He lived in Cairo until 1973 when he decided to return to Jerusalem and lived there until his death in late 1990 .
