He has been a member of the Assembly of Experts, representing Tehran.[4] He was also elected to the fourth assembly in 2011, again representing Tehran.[5][6]

Until his resignation in January 2006 Qomi was the director of the Supreme Leader Khamanei's representative office in the Iranian universities.[7] The same date he was named a member to the high council of cultural revolution and also the council of the representative office in the Iranian universities.[7] He has also been serving as the deputy head of the Supreme Leader's office on international affairs and communications.[8]
