Sects

O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].

Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects - you, [O Muhammad], are not [associated] with them in anything. Their affair is only [left] to Allah ; then He will inform them about what they used to do.

And mankind was not but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning that over which they differ.

And if your Lord had willed, He could have made mankind one community; but they will not cease to differ.

Indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

But the people divided their religion among them into sects - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.

[Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has.

And if Allah willed, He could have made them [of] one religion, but He admits whom He wills into His mercy. And the wrongdoers have not any protector or helper.
