Sura 23
Aya 53
53
فَتَقَطَّعوا أَمرَهُم بَينَهُم زُبُرًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزبٍ بِما لَدَيهِم فَرِحونَ

Yusuf Ali

But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself.1
  • The people who began to trade on the names of the prophets cut off that unity and made sects; and each sect rejoices in its own narrow doctrine, instead of taking the universal teaching of Unity from God. But this sectarian confusion is of man’s making. It will last for a time, but the rays of Truth and Unity will finally dissipate it.
