Playing in Doubt
بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكࣲّ يَلۡعَبُونَ ٩
Nay, but they play in doubt.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, they lack certainty; even when they say “Allah” it is not with seriousness and understanding but in play.
Reflect
Live your faith with seriousness.
