In Baghdad, he was in constant contact with nationalist thinkers and militants, and with them he founded a club called “Al-Muthanna Club” in 1935. He went to Berlin in 1936 to complete his studies, but the outbreak of World War II prevented him from achieving his goal, so he returned to Iraq to study at its university and head the fatwa teams there.

When Rashid al-Kilani's revolution took place in 1941, al-Muqdadi called for its support, and when it failed, the British authorities arrested him in Iraq and put him in Naqrat al-Salman prison, where he spent four years, then was transferred to Qar detention center in Jerusalem.

During his stay in Kuwait, he worked on establishing the Kuwaiti-Jordanian Arab Institute in Jerusalem with donations from Kuwaiti benefactors. Then he fell ill with an incurable disease in Kuwait, he moved to London for treatment, but he returned to Beirut, despairing of recovery, as his soul overflowed on the night of March 14, 1961 AD.

On the chest of this great Arab, he said: Al-Miqdadi combines eastern morals with sublime psychological meanings, which are the characteristics of Western work.

Darwish al-Muqdadi undertook a trip on foot and animals with his student and friend, the Palestinian-Lebanese historian Nicolas Ziadeh, as they set out from Jerusalem to Nabatiyeh through the lands of Nablus, Marj Ibn Amer and Galilee to southern Lebanon in the year 1925.
