Umma
From Conservapedia
Umma is the community of the faithful in Islam. It was a major change in seventh century Arabia where kinship instead of religion determined community membership.[1]
Umma (modern Tell Jokha) was an ancient city in Sumer, best known for its long frontier conflict with Lagash.
