Hey, | |||
So for 'umma' being generally interchangeable - that is a personal opinion so to be fair probably shouldn't be on the page, please feel free to remove the sentence :) | |||
The example was to show it's also used for (relatively) small groups of people, not necessarily just whole nations or empires/kingdoms how we might read it today - with the point being made that therefore there should arguably be even more messengers than simply one to each former nation/empire. | |||
So you could change the sentence to 'The word for people/nation 'umma' (أمة) also means a group of people residing in a particular place, rather than necessarily how we might interpret a nation/people in modern times. For example in Q28:23...' or something similar, or feel free to completely remove it of course if you think it's redundant or incorrect (Y). | |||
I also don't have a specific citation for The Seven Earths not being used for layers of the Earth (and apologies for the typo on 'al-arD'), they seem to only be used for separate Earths in early tafsirs rather than specific layers of the same Earth, so again feel free to delete if you think it needs one. | |||
Also I was wondering if you'd got a chance to review my article on the two seas (https://wikiislam.net/wiki/User:CPO675/Sandbox_1), and if there was anything more I could do to help get it published on here please? | |||
