Ummah (أمة) is an Arabic word meaning "community" or "nation".[1] In Islam, the word is used to refer to the collective worldwide body of Muslim believers,[2] including both the Muslim population of Dar al-Islam and the Muslim population of Dar al-Harb, the latter of whom live in lands with non-Islamic governments. The leader of the ummah is known as the caliph, "Amir Al-Mu'minin" or "Commander of the Believers", although no widely-accepted figure has held this position since the fall of the Ottoman caliphate after the end of the World War I.
