Question

Is Non-Muslims Comes Under Ummat-e- Muhammadiya Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The Ummah Muhammadiyyah includes Muslims and non-Muslims.[1]

However, Muslims are Ummat al-Ijabah, those who have accepted Islam, while non-Muslims are Ummat al-Da‘wah, those who are called to accept Islam.

And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best.
