Iqbal ka Irshad - Iqbal's Guidance

During the time of Lord Wellington, the British government offered Allama Iqbal a governorship in South Africa, with the condition that Begum Iqbal accompany him to all official events. Iqbal declined, stating that while he may be a flawed Muslim, he would not compromise his wife's modesty for a government position. This incident, documented by Maulana Maududi in *Batool* magazine (April 1978), highlights Iqbal’s commitment to Islamic values. He similarly refused to attend a foreign delegation where wives were expected to accompany their husbands, upholding his wife’s observance of *purdah* (veil).
