    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Anbiya – Verse 111

    "And I know not, so that it may be a trial [171] for you and the provision for a fixed time."

    ✅ [171] Delay as a Form of Trial, Not Mercy

    This means the extension of time granted to you, and the delay of punishment despite your rebellious actions, is not a sign of Allah's mercy toward you.

    Rather, it is a form of intense punishment—a trial through which your true nature is exposed, and your accountability is being deferred only for a fixed time.

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Anbiya verse 111 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Anbiya ayat 108 which provides the complete commentary from verse 108 through 112.

    (21:111) I think that this [reprieve] is possibly a trial for you,[103] an opportunity to enjoy yourselves until an appointed time.”

    Ala-Maududi

    (21:111) I think that this [reprieve] is possibly a trial for you,[103] an opportunity to enjoy yourselves until an appointed time.”

    103. This was a trial because the delay in the punishment was deluding them into believing: All the things put forward by the Prophet are false. Had he been a true Prophet of Allah, we would have been punished long before this for our disbelief. They did not realize that the reason for the delay was that Allah willed to give them respite for mending their ways.

    (111) And I know not; perhaps it[912] is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."

    [912]- The postponement of punishment.
