He is a teacher of the nation, an ummah educator and a mujahid da'wah, he is a cultural or cultural thinker, he is a 'pious with all attributes attached to that title, he is a leading politician, he is a prominent statesman, and last but not least he is a respected international figure.M. Natsir argues that Islam is not merely a religion, but a view of life that includes political, economic, social, and cultural matters. The above view is evidenced by various writings in various languages namely Indonesia, English, Arabic or Dutch either about culture, philosophy, education, religion, state administration and so forth.           With extensive political and religious insights, Natsir led the trial of the Islamic Nature Congress in Damascus in 1957, along with Sheikh Maulana Abul A 'la al-Mawdudi (Lahore) and Hasan al-Nadawi (Lucknow). For his services in leading the organization, then in 1980 the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia awarded the "Faisal Award" in honor of its service and devotion to Islam.
