Allama Arif Hussaini participated in all lectures of Imam at Najaf. Finally in 1973 Shaheed was exiled by Iraqi government because of his revolutionary activities. In 1974 he went to Qom for further studies. Shah's police and agencies strictly observe Shaheed's activities and was finally exiled from Iran.

After the death of Allama Mufti Jaffar Hussain on August 29 1983 , Allama Arif Hussain was selected as a Quaid of Millat-e-Jaffaria Pakistan. At that time he was only 37 years-old. Shaheed was a brave leader, so the dictator at that time Zia-ul-Haq (m) got no chance to oppress the Shia.
