This article is about the Arabic word for nation. For the Nabataean god, see Al-Qaum.

Qaum (Arabic: قوم‎‎, Urdu: قوم) or nation may refer to a community of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, and/or history. In this definition, a nation has no physical borders. However, it can also refer to people who share a common territory and government (for example the inhabitants of a sovereign state) irrespective of their ethnic make-up.[1][2] The protean word Qawm is of Arabic origin, and is used to refer to any form of solidarity.

Pakistani people are known as Pakistani Qaum (Urdu: پاکستانی قوم).
