Community, a group calling to good, a span of time, even a model, as Abraham was: the word ummah carries all these meanings in these verses. They recall that every community was sent a messenger and given a rite, describe the balanced community that bears witness over mankind, and mention communities other than humans and the unity on which the ummah rests.
