Conflicting Speech
إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِي قَوۡلࣲ مُّخۡتَلِفࣲ ٨
Lo! ye, forsooth, are of various opinion (concerning the truth).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Indeed, you are in differing speech.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, your words contradict each other: you say Allah created the heavens and earth, then claim He cannot raise the dead.
Reflect
Make sure your words agree with your beliefs.
