However, a fifth cousin of his, Aref Nasrallah believed in the former, and used his influence to bar him from returning to his hometown (Karbala), so Nasrallah settled in Baghdad. Ever since his dismissal from the sidana, Nasrallah has been occupied with writing books, and has produced a number of publications on the history, culture, and literacy of Islam and Karbala.
