Translation of Umma

edit

Hi, I dont't think that "nation" could be a good translation of Umma... the correct translation is community... "nation" is a very Western and modern concept --Hallkall (talk) 14:02, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

The link to the text itself is broken in:

The division of the constitution into numbered articles is not in the original text but added later by scholars. The numbering of clauses differs in different sources, but there is general agreement on the authenticity of ---the most widely-read version of the charter---, which is found in Ibn Ishaq's Sirah Rasul Allah.

Text of constitution

edit

The text is semi-long, and putting text this long on wikipedia isn't common. Should the text be moved to Wikisouce, and then linked to? Eievie (talk) 20:24, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ok, it appears the issue is that there isn't an English translation old enough to be out of copyright. The earliest I can find so far is Muhammad Hamidullah's 1941 one. Eievie (talk) 00:19, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
