1474 After many wanderings the Israelites were settled in the land of Canaan , described as "a land flowing with milk and honey" (Exod.
3:8). They had a prosperous land; and they were supplied with spiritual sustenance by men sent to deliver Allah's Message. They should have known better than to fall into disputes and schisms, but they did so. This was all the more inexcusable considering what bounties they had received from Allah. The schisms arose from selfish arrogance, and Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgement, (Cf.
45:17).
