Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

This World was created for a Wisdom

Here Allah tells us of His justice, and that He is far above mere play, folly and falsehood. This is like the Ayah:

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالاٌّرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَـطِلاً ذَلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ النَّارِ

Chapter 44, Page 497, Juz 25

30. And indeed We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment: 31. From Fir‘aun (Pharaoh); verily he was arrogant and was of the Musrifûn (those who transgress beyond bound in spending and other things and commit great sins). 32. And We chose them (the Children of Israel) above the ‘Âlamîn (mankind and jinn) [during the time of Mûsâ (Moses)] with knowledge, 33. And granted them signs in which there was a plain trial. 34. Verily, these (Quraish) people are saying: 35. "There is nothing but our first death, and we shall not be resurrected. 36. "Then bring back our forefathers, if you speak the truth!" 37. Are they better or the people of Tubba‘ and those before them? We destroyed them because they were indeed Mujrimûn (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals). 38. And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play. 39. We created them not except with truth (i.e. to examine and test those who are obedient and those who are disobedient and then reward the obedient ones and punish the disobedient ones), but most of them know not. 40. Verily, the Day of Judgement (when Allâh will judge between the creatures) is the time appointed for all of them - 41. The Day when a Maulâ (a near relative) cannot avail a Maulâ (a near relative) in aught, and no help can they receive, 42. Except him on whom Allâh has Mercy. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
