إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُونِ Qur’an Al-Anbiya (21:92)
Inna h ath ihi ommatukum ommatan w ah idatan waan a rabbukum faoAAbudoon i
VERILY, [O you who believe in Me,] this communIty of yours is one single community, since I am the Sustainer of you all: worship, then, Me [alone]!89
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

After calling to mind, in verses {48-91}, some of the earlier prophets, all of whom stressed the oneness and uniqueness of God, the discourse returns to that principle of oneness as it ought to be reflected in the unity of all who believe in Him. (See {23: 51} ff.)

Verily this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood and I am your only Rabb, therefore worship Me Alone.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'O prophets!' Indeed, this religion of yours is 'only' one, and I am your Lord, so worship Me 'alone'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Lo! this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Verily this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other). 2749
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Ummat: this is best translated by Brotherhood here. "Community", "race", and "nation," and "people" are words which import other ideas and do not quite correspond to "Ummat". "Religion" and "Way of Life" are derived meanings, which could be used in other passages, but are less appropriate here. Our attention has been drawn to people of very different temperaments and virtues, widely different in time, race, language, surroundings, history, and work to be performed, but forming the closest brotherhood as being men and women united in the highest service of Allah. They prefigure the final and perfected Brotherhood of Islam.
