  3. Ok then...
    Earlier on the umma helped muhammad stat safe. He was a wanted man for all of the businesses in Mecca. They wouldn't come after him if he had his own private army ready to fight for him. Later after muhammad's death the umma held muslims together and helped them conquer other peoples which in turn spread islam. This conquering and spreading of islam helped it to be the second largest religion in the world now. The amount of muslims is beneficial to their religion. When making national or possibly worldly regulations Islamic views will now be viewed more substaintially.
