Umma

Umma

Umma is a sense of community that allows unity both politically and socially. The introduction of Islam allowed for much stronger political unification than before the time of Muhammad. Everyone that tries to achieve the Five Pillars of Islam is a part of the umma. Umma is mentioned in the Qu'ran frequently. The umma provided by Islam will be the reason for much of the Muslims sucesses later on.
