Qur’aanic Verses 21.92 & 21.93:

Transliterations:

92. Inna hathihi ommatukum ommatan wahidatan waana rabbukum faoAAbudooni

93. WataqattaAAoo amrahum baynahum kullun ilayna rajiAAoona

Translations:

92. Indeed this community of yours³⁰ is one community, and I am your Lord! So worship Me.

93 And they tore apart their (common) duty (of worshipping the sole Creator) among themselves. All shall return to Us.³¹

Study Notes:

30. I.e. the community that submits to Allah Almighty (refer Verse 2.128). Its members may be living in any part of the world, but they all belong to the same single community as declared here by the Creator Himself.

31. The Muslims are indeed divided now among themselves over their common ground of worshipping the Creator. Satan has succeeded in duping them with the idea that they need the intercession of the Prophet and the saints to take them to Jannah. The satanic deception shall be made clear to them on the Day of Judgment in the Hereafter.

(Qur’aanic Verse 6.159:)

(Transliteration:)

159. Inna allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanoo shiyaAAan lasta minhum fee shay-in innama amruhum ila Allahi thumma yunabbi-ohum bima kanoo yafAAaloona

(Translation:)

159. You have indeed no concern with those who divide their religion into sects. Their matter goes to Allah, Who will then tell them what they did.⁵⁸

(Study Note:)

58. This is a strong divine condemnation of those who cause divisions in the Allah-approved Religion of Islam. And yet there are divisions galore in Islam! How are these divisions caused and by whom? As far as my understanding goes, the first division was caused on the basis of the controversy over the ahaadeeth reporting the last sermon of the Prophet, peace be upon him. As per some ahaadeeth, the Prophet was reported to have said that he was leaving behind his Sunnah, besides the Qur’aan. There are some who dispute this and say that it was not the Sunnah, but Ahle-Bayt. Thus arose the two sects, Sunnis and Shias, the latter sect adopting the very word, Allah Ta’ala used to condemn the schism, to identify themselves by! Herein lies a clear pointer to the answer to the question, how and by whom. It is through the man-influenced, error-prone ahaadeeth that Satan has helped Muslims bring about the divisions! When will the Muslims realise this and save themselves from certain doom?
