At University of Malaya, he was active in student activities, serving as council member of PMUM in 1981–82 when Ahmad Shabery Cheek served as president. He also served as Secretary General of PBMUM.
Husam's early career included a stint as Harakah journalist in 1985 and in 1990–1993 he was the Press Secretary to the Menteri Besar of Kelantan Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat. In 1993–1999 he was appointed political secretary to the Menteri Besar.

Previously he was the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) Vice-President, from 2011 until 2015. On 6 May 2016, he was sacked from PAS by the party's disciplinary committee for alleged misconduct.[2]
Husam as a PAS member, was the former Kelantan State Legislative Assemblyman for the Salor constituency (2008-2018) and Kijang constituency (2004-2008). He was also the federal Member of Parliament for Kubang Kerian in 1999–2004. His tenure as Member of Parliament gave him the prominence as a very capable politician in Malaysia and he received the accolade as "Newsmaker of the Year 2003" (malaysiakini.com) for his tenacity to bring up issues of public interest. Beside contesting and winning the Salor state seat in the 2013 Malaysian general election, he also contested the parliamentary seat of Putrajaya but had lost to Barisan Nasional's Tengku Adnan Mansor.[3]
