The Holy Quran 23:53 — Surah Al-Mu'minun

Arabic text

فَتَقَطَّعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍۭ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ

Translation

However, (instead of following the single clear way of their Ambiyaa عليه الصلاة والسلام) they (the followers of the Ambiyaa عليه الصلاة والسلام) split their affairs between themselves into segments (divided into parties and factions), each party being content (rejoicing) with what (bit of concocted beliefs and customs) they had. (In this manner, they refused to unite and split into many religious denominations, each one thinking that they are on the right path.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

فتفرَّق الأتباع في الدين إلى أحزاب وشيع، جعلوا دينهم أديانًا بعدما أُمروا بالاجتماع، كل حزب معجب برأيه زاعم أنه على الحق وغيره على الباطل. وفي هذا تحذير من التحزب والتفرق في الدين.
