Quran and Sunnah strictly prohibits division in the religion “Islam” or its believers “Muslims”, there are several verses in Quran addresses this issue.Those who are dividing Muslims in the name of different sects actually are not Muslims but Munafiqs (hypocrites) and most of us unknowingly and some knowingly following the path of wrongdoers and simply not paying proper attention towards the Quran and Sunnah.
At Rasool Allah's (salul laho alay hay was-salam) time people use to say that "do we leave the way of our fathers and forefathers and follow yours"?
They also use to quote things from different ‘man written’ books, and today they are doing exactly the same thing, people are just following blindly what their elders are following. And instead of Quran and Sunnah they come up quoting other man writtens.
Here are few Quranic verses about Sects:
6:159:
"As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did."
In the end, I believe; That there are only “Two Sects” in mankind, “Muslim and Non-Muslim”, people who surrender to the will of Allah are Muslims and
others are Non-Muslims.
Sub-divisions in main frame sects is an attempt to further divide the mankind in many sects, under the golden rule of “Divide & Rule”.
At present Satan is Ruling this world with this Golden Ruling Policy.
I seek Allah’s refuge from the out-casted Satan.
Ameen,
Alhamdulil’lahi Rabil alameen,
Ameen.
