Consensus of the Ummah

The Consensus of the Ummah refers to the collective agreement or shared understanding among Muslims on important religious and social matters. The Ummah, meaning the global community of Muslims, seeks unity in interpreting Islamic teachings. When issues arise, scholars and community leaders discuss and come to a consensus, ensuring that decisions reflect the values and principles of Islam. This consensus helps maintain coherence within the Muslim community and guides followers in their beliefs and practices, fostering a sense of belonging and shared identity among diverse groups.
