The name YAA UMMATI is deeply emotional, powerful, and rooted in the love the Prophet Muhammad SAW had for his people - his ummah. To understand its meaning and purpose we must reflect on the last words and final concerns of our beloved Prophet SAW. YAA UMMATI translates to “O my Ummah/Nation“

It is a call of compassion, a cry of love - words that capture the heart of the Messenger SAW as he lived, and especially as he prepared to leave this world. In the final days of his life, the Prophet SAW was in pain, weak and fevered. Yet, as A’ishah (RA) and the companions described, his concern was not himself - it was us. He would repeatedly say: “Ummati, Ummati…” “My Ummah, my Ummah…”

Even in his final moments, he was making du’a for his followers. Even when Jibril (AS) came to take his soul, the Prophet SAW asked: “What will happen to my Ummah after me?“

His love was not limited to the Sahabah - it extended to every single Muslim who would come after him, including you and me. Therefore, “Yaa Ummati” isn’t just a name - it’s a mission. It is a reminder of the Prophet’s deep, sacrificial love for his ummah. It is a call to action to carry his legacy through da’wah, education, and compassion. It is a revival of identity for a generation that may have forgotten what it means to be part of his ummah.

I chose the name Yaa Ummati to keep the Prophet’s final concern alive in our hearts and to inspire Muslims - especially youth, to reconnect with their identity. The name is also to encourage da’wah work that is rooted in love, mercy, and prophetic concern. It is a call to our community to come back to unity, knowledge, and sincere action - for the sake of the ummah. In essence, YAA UMMATI is both a cry of love from the Prophet SAW and now, a call to rise for his ummah. It reminds us, if the Prophet SAW spent his last breath saying Yaa Ummati, we must spend our lives answering it.
