The Concept of Ummah in Islamic Thought: Unity and Diversity

Abstract

The concept of Ummah, or the Muslim community, holds a central place in Islamic thought and practice. Despite its apparent unity, the Ummah encompasses a rich tapestry of diversity, both historically and in contemporary times. This scholarly article explores the multifaceted nature of the Ummah, examining its foundational principles, historical development, and contemporary relevance. By delving into the notions of unity and diversity within the Ummah, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how Muslims conceptualize their collective identity.
