  The maintenance of the cage of Habib Ibn Madhahir's shrine, after it was damaged during the uprising. It was completed in 1993.

  Converting the Leader of the 1920 Revolution graveyard into the shrines ceremonial hall in 1996.
  The Bayn al-Haramayn regeneration programme–after it was desecrated during the 1991 uprising–removing all concrete damns, laying a concrete floor, and planting palm trees across the area. The project was completed in 1997.
  Creating a golden door inside the shrine, made exclusively by Iraqi hands, for the first time in the history of the shrine. The door was completed on January 4, 1999.
  Expanding the shrine of the martyrs of Karbala, and creating a second window for it in the southern rawaq (hallway). This project was done without the knowledge of the authorities, since they were against the idea, however Nasrallah was adamant on the expansion for a number of reasons, so he directed the Najafi gilder, Majid Abu al-Nawair and the Karbalaei architect Hassan al-Memar, and together they worked on the expansion and completed it on August 8, 2000.
  The initiation of the University of Karbala project, and Nasrallah using his influence, along with a number of other noblemen of Karbala, to gather funds to establish the university in 2002.
