Abstract

The construction of the identity of the Muslim community, which starts from a religious community and then transforms into a civil society, is the purpose of the presence of lafaz ummah in the Qur’an. This paper will explore the interpretation of lafaz ummah as the basis for constructing Muslim identity. The methodology of this paper is a qualitative method using a historical-critical approach and tafsīr maqaṣidī Ibn ʻAshūr. The results of this paper show that the lafaz ummah in the Qur’an has two objectives: first, to strengthen society as religious citizens, and second, to create a group with a shared vision that correlates with society as citizens. The conclusion of this paper emphasizes that the construction of Muslim identity is formed on constructive differences, not division, so that the goals of this ummah must have the same vision and mission as citizens.
