Breaking The One Religion Into Sects Is Idolatry

42:14

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوٓاْ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَہُمۡ‌ۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٌ۬ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَبِّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ۬ مُّسَمًّ۬ى لَّقُضِىَ بَيۡنَہُمۡ‌ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُورِثُواْ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ لَفِى شَكٍّ۬ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيبٍ۬ ١٤

Ironically, they broke up into sects only after the knowledge had come to them, due to jealousy and resentment among themselves. If it were not for a predetermined decision from your Lord to respite them for a definite interim, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, the later generations who inherited the scripture are full of doubts.

Proofs and revelations

42:13 and 42:14 - These two verses express the message that the religion of Allah has always been one and the same - it is called “Islam” or “Submission” to Allah. This is the one religion that was decreed for the past messengers as well as to the current messenger. Those who breakup the religion of Islam into various sects due to their ego, jealousy, and resentment are considered as idol worshippers.

 

The Proof:

 

42:13 Part: ALLAH redeems to Himself whomever He wills; He guides to Himself only those who totally submit.

 

Revealed: The Allah letters are 12 and the messenger’s letters are 21, revealing the Sacred Code of 1221. The numbers 12 added up to 21, reveals the sum of 165, to proclaim the Absoluteness of Allah, who Alone decides who to guide or not.

Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 144 and the GV of messengers’ letters is 450, revealing the diff. of precisely 306, to proclaim the full name of the messenger - Makbool Husain (306). Those who follow the guidance sent through the messenger and submit to Allah will be the ones who will be redeemed by Him.

 

42:13 Part A: You shall uphold this one religion, and do not divide it. The idol worshipers will greatly resent what you invite them to do.

42:13 Part B: Allah redeems to Himself whomever He wills; He guides to Himself only those who totally submit.

 

Revealed: The GV of messenger’s letters are 746 and 450, the difference is 296 proclaiming Rasool – Messenger – Praise be to Allah, who has revealed “clear revelations” to let the people know that His religion is One - the religion of Monotheism that has been established, preached and practiced by Abraham and all other messengers. Those who do not believe and follow it as dictated and revealed by Allah are idol worshipers who resent His Absolute Authority. Allah does not need them, He is The Most Praiseworthy. See verses 7:172 to 7:174 and 30:30 up to 30:32.

Body text
It is ironic that ALLAH revealed His signature through Rashad Khalifa, after whose demise the submitters argued and disputed with one another to break up ALLAH's religion again (see verse 42:14).
