Morphology
The phrase 'Muslim community' is directly composed from 'Muslim' (a person practicing Islam) and 'community' (a group of people), so its meaning as a group of Muslims is immediately inferable from the constituents. This adjective+noun composition is a common, cross-linguistically familiar pattern, making it transparent to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Muslim community comes from the simple picture of people who are Muslim living and meeting together as a community, gathering in a mosque to pray, eat and help each other. That's why it means 'a group of people who follow Islam'.
