What does UMMAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The worldwide community of Muslims, considered as a single body united by faith regardless of nationality or ethnicity.
Ummah is an Arabic word adopted into English to name the collective community of all Muslims, understood as bound together by shared belief rather than by any single country or government. The concept emphasises unity across borders, so a Muslim living in one country is still considered part of the same ummah as a Muslim living anywhere else. English writers use ummah mainly in discussions of Islamic history, theology and current affairs, where a more general word such as community would lose the specific religious sense. The term appears untranslated in English texts much as words such as diaspora carry their own precise meaning.
