73 DIVISIONS IN ISLAM AND ONE TRUE JAMA’AT 5 Clearly according to Holy Quran the way to achieve religious harmony is to put to practice what is common in the beliefs of every differing faction and that would be the first step towards a consensus in the matters of religious beliefs. The government of Pakistan under the leadership of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and the leader of all the rest of 72 sects of Islam (other than Ahmadi Muslims) clearly contradicted the teachings of the Holy Quran and practice and commandments of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). However, thi s decision did ironically provide an interesting, if not unique, distinction of one group of Muslims from the other 72 sects fulfilling the prophecy of Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) in which he mentioned 73 divisions among Muslims as opposed to 72 divis ions among Jews.
