In regards to the many sects there are within Islam nowadays and amongst Muslims, what does the Qur'an say about this? Is it against Islam to divide Islam into sects? If so, is there a verse in the Qur'an to back it up?

إن الذين فرقوا دينهم وكانوا شيعا لست منهم في شيء إنما أمرهم إلى الله ثم ينبئهم بما كانوا يفعلون
Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects - you, [O Muhammad], are not [associated] with them in anything. Their affair is only [left] to Allah ; then He will inform them about what they used to do.
Surat al-An'am (The Cattle) [6:159]

Also there is a hadith sahih: ''My ummah will be divided into seventy three sects. All of them will be in the Fire except one'' [Saheeh Muslim, no.976]
