21:111 And I know not; perhaps it is a trial for you and enjoyment for a time."
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishI do not know whether your respite from being punished is a test for you, or whether it is to lure you further into destruction, and to give you freedom until a time decreed in the Knowledge of Allah, so that you persist in your disbelief and error.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And I know not, perhaps it may be a trial for you, and an enjoyment for a while.

21:111 And I know not; perhaps it is a trial for you and translate in arabic
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Nor do I know the reason for the respite granted to you people, it may be a trial to test your true belief and inclination or to give you enough rope to allow you free scope of action up to a predetermined point of time in order that you may commit yourselves -or relent and be brought to your senses
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(21:111) I think that this (delay) may be a trial for you, *103 and you are being given respite to enjoy yourselves for an appointed term" .
And I know not; perhaps it is a trial for you and meaning
*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.
And I know not; perhaps it is a trial for you and meaning in Urdu
میں تو یہ سمجھتا ہوں کہ شاید یہ (دیر) تمہارے لیے ایک فتنہ ہے اور تمہیں ایک وقت خاص تک کے لیے مزے کرنے کا موقع دیا جا رہا ہے"
