Exalting God

7. The Collective Identity of the Ummah

The Shia understanding of the Ummah, or community, emphasizes the collective aspect of worship and spiritual growth. Exalting God is not confined to individual practice but thrives within the context of community engagements, such as congregational prayers and communal commemorations. The sense of belonging engenders a shared responsibility to uplift one another, reinforcing the significance of unity in worship. This collective identity allows for a communal expression of exaltation that resonates through generations, manifesting a legacy of devotion and reverence towards God.
