You are welcome.
I heard that he converted to Islam, but I do not know for sure (it's a bit strange that he kept his first name; but it's not a "Christian" name).

[salma]

Yes and when you convert to Islam in some cases you can keep your name.

Does anyone have information about Queen Rania´s family (names, works, is are they married...)?

[White Princess]

I have a question about this that I read in Wikipedia's Princess Basma's page, it says: "Basma's father became King of Jordan two months after she was born as a result of the assassination in Jerusalem of her grandfather King Abdullah I. However, Talal was forced to abdicate as King for health reasons in 1952, when Basma was one year old. He lived on until 1972. Her mother was Queen Zein (1916–1994). After her father's abdication, her older brother King Hussein (1935–1999) ascended the throne, and her mother was Queen Regent until Hussein came of age in 1953."

A woman can be regent in the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan?

No, the regent (or leading member of a regency council) has to be a man. In fact, Queen Zein played then the leading role in the country, but formally/officially it was her brother Sharif Nasser bin Jamal (himself a Hashemite).
