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) — Tafsir Usmani

The religion and creed of all the prophets are one: that is, as regards fundamentals, the religion and millah (creed) of all the prophets are one, and the Allah of them all is One, whose disobedience one must always fear. But people sowed discord and tore the original religion to pieces, carving out separate paths for themselves.
