Ummah (أمة is an Arabic) and Islam word that means "community". It is often used to mean the community of the believers (Ummah Al-Muhmini) in Islam.

The phrase al-ummatun wahid (the One Community) refers to all of humanity. The Constitution of Medina, negotiated by Muhammad(P) and accepted by the Mala [Senate] of Medina, explicitly refers to Jewish and pagan citizens of the Medina Republic as members of the Ummah [1].
