Nasir al-Din Muhammad Ahmad Jamil al-Asad (Arabic: ناصر الدين محمد أحمد جميل الأسد; born on December 13, 1922 – died on May 15, 2015) was a Jordanian writer, researcher, and literary critic, regarded as one of the most prominent figures in modern Arabic literature in Jordan and the Arab world. He contributed to the founding of the University of Jordan in 1962 and served as its first president, and served as Jordan's first Minister of Higher Education (1985–1989). Al-Asad was known for his seminal studies on pre-Islamic Arabic literature, particularly his renowned book "Sources of Pre-Islamic Poetry and Their Historical Value", in which he refuted the doubts surrounding the authenticity of pre-Islamic literature.
