He taught in the geology department at the University of Baghdad and Basra University, as well as at the Marine Science Center. He also oversaw doctoral and master's students at Basra University.
After 2003, he became a member of the Iraqi National Assembly, representing Sadr. He also became a member of the Agriculture and Water Committee in the assembly, and represented the Sadrist movement in the National Political Council for a year and a half before the movement withdrew from it.
He was re-elected as deputy in the previous parliamentary elections, and became a rapporteur of the Agriculture and Water Committee in parliament. He served as second deputy head of the Sadrist political council. He was re-elected as deputy in the latest elections and served as first deputy of the speaker of parliament."
