Ummah: People [23:43; 15:5], Humanity, A womb-an, civilized society {an-Nisaa}; Society created by Allah [7:181]; Leading people [28:41;17:71;32:24]; Part of a people (qawm)[7:159]; Mary is a sign of Ummah[23:50]

According to Ludwik Fleck in his, “Genesis And Development Of A Scientific Fact” --"The greatest error of individualistic psychology is the assumption that a person thinks. This leads to a continual search for the source of thought within the individual himself and for the reasons why he thinks in a particular way and not in any other.  What actually thinks within a person is not the individual himself but his social community. The source of his thinking is not within himself but is to be found in his social environment and in the very social atmosphere he ‘breathes.’  His mind is structured, and necessarily so, under the influence of this ever-present social environment, and he cannot think in any other way."
