The word(s) "sects" appears 7 time(s) in 7 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(1) As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.

(2) Can they be (like) those who accept a Clear (Sign) from their Lord, and whom a witness from Himself doth teach, as did the Book of Moses before it,- a guide and a mercy? They believe therein; but those of the sects that reject it,- the Fire will be their promised meeting-place. Be not then in doubt thereon: for it is the truth from thy Lord: yet many among men do not believe!

(3) We did send messengers before thee amongst the religious sects of old:

(4) But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day!

(5) But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself.

(6) Those who split up their Religion, and become (mere) sects,- each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!

(7) But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to the wrong-doers, from the Penalty of a Grievous Day!
