Umma
"Umma" is an Arabic term that means "community" or "nation." In Islamic context, it refers to the global community of Muslims who share a common faith and values. The concept emphasizes unity, solidarity, and mutual support among Muslims, regardless of their geographical or cultural differences.
Historically, the term has been significant in the formation of Islamic identity, especially after the time of the Prophet Muhammad. The Umma is often seen as a spiritual and social bond that connects Muslims worldwide, encouraging cooperation and collective responsibility in various aspects of life, including religious practices and social justice.
