Coalition and unity of word are better than blameworthy discord. The divergence of groups in methodologies and disciplines has already been explained, which makes their differences akin to the differences among the imams of fiqh. The narration about the division of the Ummah did not, for the most part, address these groups; because the mentioned division therein pertains to the fundamentals of religion, such as the Jahmiyyah, the Qadariyyah, and the Murji'ah, and not to the جزئية (minor) branches that do not lead to the Ummah splitting into factions.
