235. It should be remembered that the one guilty of disunity and division is a person who has deviated from the path of the Muslims by bringing irreligious innovations in it. One who is firm on the teachings of Islam is not the guilty person. Says Allah Almighty: "And one who follows a way other than the way of Muslims: We shall leave him on his own" (S4: V115). Hence, the followers of Ahle Sunnat are on the right path. Besides this sect, all others are responsible for creating division in the Muslim ranks.
236. from this we learn that the transgression of the learned is not only more perilous than that of the ignorant but at times is responsible for the worst form of punishment. One transgression of a learned can be responsible for leading the entire masses astray, hence. "After this that bright signs had come to them" is expressed in this verse.
