It is not real division. It is just minor differences that do not touch basic Islam fundamentals and beliefs. Refer to question below for more information.
Islam has become part of India's overall culture, been the religion of choice of some of its imperial dynasties, and lead to the division of the British Raj into the nations of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh.

If you read the Holy Quran ...Nowhere is it mentioned that Islam was divided. Islam symbolizes unity among muslims so how can there be division among the religion. Many people believe that there are sunni, shia, bori,etc. This is a great misconception. Nowhere in the Quran is there anything mentioned about sunni and shia, etc.... So basically.. a muslim who follows islam is a person who believes in the quran , god, his propets, his angels, fate, good and evil, the day of judgement. If he does not believe in any one of these then he does not follow islam. (hope this answers your question)
Spirituality in Islam has different concept from all the religions of the world as Islam opposes leaving the world and going to forest, mountains etc. but Islam encourages its followers to participate actively in the matters of the world. Islam is a beautiful combination of Spiritual and Materialistic aspects of Islam. So, spirituality in Islam lies in worship of Allah (God) according to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and fulfilling duties which Islam has imposed on its followers being Muslims and slaves of God.To follow the Quraan and the hadeeth, and to follow the requirements to go to Paradsie

When you recite the Holly Qur'an - there are 7 divisions, any can be followed. When you are practicing Islam - there are 4 divisions, any can be followed. But we can't tell these are division of the Holly Qur'an - rather it is division of all Islamic teaching (comprising the Holly Qur'an, Hadith, Izma and Qius).
