After the independence of Indonesia, the state had seen the rise of Java-based mass organizations and the intellectuals from Jakarta, Ciputat and Jogjakarta. Under this circumstance, the prominence of West Sumatra and Minangkabau people among the intellectual landscape of Islam in Indonesia had fallen off since the New Order year. Among the important Minangkabau figures of post-independence era are Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (Hamka), who authored Tafsir al-Azhar in 1967, the first tafsir written in Bahasa Indonesia and taking the vernacular Minangkabau and Malay approaches in interpreting the Qur'an,[16] and Mohammad Natsir, who led the Masyumi Party and Indonesian Islamic Dawah Council, contributing greatly to the propagation of Islamic orthodoxy in Indonesia.[17]
