About his origin

there is a book in english Our Oil - the Man and the Challenges by Per Lars Tonstad and Farouk: Al-Kasim published by Austin Macauley Publishers. in chapter one it says

"My grandfather, Kasim, seems to have been a modest combination of skipper and ship-owner. He seems to have owned more than one dhow 2(Arabian sailboat) which he used for trading within the Arabian Gulf and occasionally with India and Pakistan. How he came into this business in the first place is not clear. One would assume that he had descended from a sea-faring Arab family in the Arabian Gulf."

So, he is not from Iranian origin as mention in the wikipedia article. I think that part need correction and I tryed to correct it but my correction was rejected. Mushtaq01 (talk) 22:57, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mean this part:

His family were immigrants from Iran, and the oldest members spoke Persian. They worked as river guides along the Shatt al-Arab, which gave them the economic leeway to allow Abdul-Aziz Kasim, Farouk's father, the opportunity to focus on his studies; He wanted to live among the privileged and educated population.
