The Holy Quran 3:105 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا۟ وَٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ ۚ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

Translation

Do not be like those (Jews and Christians) who separated (into denominations because of their desires) and disputed (about the basics and secondary aspects of their religions) after clear signs had come to them. There shall be a terrible punishment for such people...

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Do not fall into dissension like the Jews and Christians: that is, do not become like the Jews and Christians who, after the clear commands of Almighty Allah had reached them, merely by following fancies and desires became divided in the fundamentals of the shariah and differed in its branches.
