500			_aUnequivocally, the notion of the ‘Umma’ (generally perceived as faithful Muslim society), with sixty-four references only in the Quran, has been a persistent propelling force in Islamic political philosophy from Islam’s advent in the 7th century. Notably, it has tremendous resonance in today’s Muslim lexicon and profoundly preoccupies the Muslim intelligentsia, who present Islam as an ideal sociopolitical modern system and, consequently, intend to idealise a transnational Islam (pan-Islamism). As a result, the Umma concept is central to Muslim consciousness, shaping a plethora of Islamist movements and, secondly, constitutes a dominating discourse of empowerment, a notion in motion, and a nostalgic desire in pan-Islamist literature to make Muslim collectivity stronger.
