Isl. Weltgemeinschaft
Islamische Weltgemeinschaft [umma]

Aussprache: al-umma
arabisch: الاُمّة
persisch: اُمّت
englisch: the global community of all Muslims

"Ummah" ist die arabische Bezeichnung für "islamische Weltgemeinschaft". Muslime aus allen Ländern fühlen sich sehr stark miteinander verbunden. Zwischenzeitliche Bestrebungen, den Muslimen eine über die islamische Identität hinausgehende nationale, völkische oder ethnische Identität anzuerziehen waren immer nur zeitweilig erfolgreich und sind letztendlich gescheitert, weil Muslime die Abstammung von Adam (a.) und Eva auch als politisches Signal verstehen, dass letztendlich alle Menschen direkt miteinander verwandt sind. Teile der Ummah treffen sich jedes Jahr bei der Pilgerfahrt [hadsch].

Die folgende Tabelle gibt einen Überblick über die ungefähre Zahl der Muslime in verschiedenen Ländern mit Bezug auf Quellen der Westlichen Welt. Entgegen der üblichen Medienangaben ist der Anteil an Muslimen in der Weltbevölkerung fast jeder vierte und über 1,5 Milliarden!
