Had We purposed to have fun or diversion We would have had recourse to what We have in Our heavens realm if indeed We meant to do so
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(21:17) Had We meant to make it a plaything and nothing more than this, We would have done it by Ourself. *16
Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it meaning
*16) That is, "This world has been created with a definite purpose and not as a plaything; for, if he had wanted to enjoy a sport, We would have done so without creating a sentient, rational and responsible creature like you. Far be it from Us to put man to trial and conflict for the sake of mere fun."
