Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and strategy of Mohammad Natsir's holistic da'wah in strengthening Islamic law in Indonesia after the dissolution of Masyumi. Using a qualitative method with a literature study approach and socio-historical analysis, data were collected from DDII's written works, archives, and documents, with purposive samples from primary and secondary sources, observed in January-February 2025. The findings show that Natsir's da'wah strategy through actions, writings, and speech, is effective in expanding the internalization of Islamic law and empowering the people. The novelty of this study lies in the integrative analysis of Natsir's da'wah strategy in the context of contemporary challenges. The implication is that Natsir's da'wah model is relevant as a reference for developing adaptive da'wah strategies in today's Indonesia
