Membership to the ummah was not restricted to adhering to the Muslim faith but rather encompassed all of the tribes as long as they vowed to recognize Muhammad as the community and political figure of authority.
Članstvo u umi nije ograničena na istrajnosti u muslimanskoj veri, već obuhvata sva plemena sve dok priznaju Muhameda (i njegoce sledbenike) kao zajednicu i političku ličnosti na vlasti.
