وَإِنَّ هَـٰذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً (And surely this is your creed, a single creed - Al-Mu'minun 23:52 ⧉). The word اُمَّہ is used to describe a group or the followers of a prophet. Sometimes it is also used in the sense of "faith", "creed" or "way of life", as in the verse وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ (We found our fathers upon a creed - Az-Zukhruf 43:22 ⧉). In the present verse Al-Mu'minun 23:52 ⧉ the word ummah has been used in the latter sense.
