Iqbal held the last post as Chairman of the Central Executive Board of the Ansor Youth Movement period 1995-2000. In addition, he also served as a member of the People's Representative Council of Indonesia period 1998-2003 from the Golkar Party. The two positions were never held at the end because Iqbal died first in 1999.
