Ummah Nation ٙــــّأ
Community or Nation. The body of the Muslims as one distinct
and integrated community. The Unimah of Muhammad, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, refers to every Ins wal
Jinn (mankind and Jinn) born after the final message was
revealed through the Holy Prophet Muhammad who have
embraced Islam. The Ummah ofMuhammad, may the blessings
and peace of Allah be on him and all his community (those
who have lived in the past, those who are alive now and those
who will live in the future), can be subdivided into two groups:
1. Ummat ad-Da'wa - the nation that was called upon
to believe in Allah Ta'ala and the Last Day.
2. Ummat al-Isteajaba - the nation that responded to
the call of Muhammad. Another name for this
Ummah is "Al- Ummah al-Islamiah" ("the Islamic
Nation"). Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala commanded
the Ummat al-Isteajaba to hold together and not to
disagree. Unfonunately , this decree has been
ignored, and in fulfilment of the Last Messenger's
prophecy, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, there are now 73 different groups of
Muslims, only one of whom possesses and
protects the original teachings of Islam as brought
and embodied by him.
