Is being part of any sect or group is a punishment from Allah?

کیا کسی بھی فرقے سے تعلق ہونا اللہ کی طرف سے ایک سزا ہے؟

Arabic
قُلۡ هُوَ ٱلۡقَادِرُ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَبۡعَثَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابٗا مِّن فَوۡقِكُمۡ أَوۡ مِن تَحۡتِ أَرۡجُلِكُمۡ أَوۡ يَلۡبِسَكُمۡ شِيَعٗا وَيُذِيقَ بَعۡضَكُم بَأۡسَ بَعۡضٍۗ ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَفۡقَهُونَ ٦٥
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Say: "It is He Who has the power to send forth chastisement upon you from above you, or from beneath your feet, or split you into hostile groups and make some of you taste each others' violence. Behold, how We set forth Our signs in diverse forms, so that maybe they will understand the Truth".
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Kaho, woh ispar qadir hai ke tumpar koi azaab upar se nazil karde, ya tumhare qadamon ke nichey se barpa karde, ya tumhein girohon mein taqseem karke ek giroh ko dusre giroh ki taqat ka maza chakhwa de. Dekho, hum kis tarah baar baar mukhtalif tareeqon se apni nishaniyan inke saamne pesh kar rahey hain shayad ke yeh haqeeqat ko samajh lein
