﴿ يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِـُٔوا۟ نُورَ ٱللَّهِ بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَٱللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ ﴾
“They aim to extinguish God's light with their utterances: but God has willed to spread His light in all its fullness, however hateful this may be to all who deny the truth”
(Fain would they) i.e. the Jews and Christians (put out the light of Allah) to abort the religion of Allah; and it is said this means: to abort the Book of Allah: the Qur'an, (with their mouths) with their tongues and lies, (but Allah will perfect His light) but Allah will manifest His religion and Book (however much the disbelievers are averse) even though the Jews, Christians and pagan Arabs dislike its happening.
