Translation
Their intention is to extinguish Allah's Light (by blowing) with their mouths: But Allah will complete (the revelation of) His Light, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).
Tafsir
They desire to extinguish (li-yutfi'oo is in the subjunctive form because of an implicit an [sc. an yutfi'oo], the laam being extra) the light of God, His Law and His proofs, with their mouths, with their sayings, that this is sorcery, or poetry or soothsaying; but God will perfect, He will manifest, His light (mutimmun noorahu: some have read this in the form of a genitive annextation, mutimmu noorihi) though the disbelievers be averse, to this.
The Most Unjust among all People
Allah said,
وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ افۡتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ الۡكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدۡعَى إِلَى الاِۡسۡلَمِ
And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah, while he is being invited to Islam?
meaning, none is more unjust than he who lies about Allah and calls upon rivals and associates partners with Him, even while he is being invited to Tawhid and sincerely worshipping Him.
This is why Allah said,
وَاللَّهُ لَاا يَهۡدِي الۡقَوۡمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
And Allah guides not the people who are wrongdoers.
Allah said
يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطۡفِوُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفۡوَاهِهِمۡ
They intend to put out the Light of Allah with their mouths.
indicating that the disbelievers will try to contradict the truth with falsehood. Their attempts are similar to one's attempt to extinguish the sun with his mouth, which is impossible. Likewise is the case of their attempt to extinguish truth.
So Allah said,
وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ الۡكَافِرُونَ
هُوَ الَّذِي أَرۡسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالۡهُدَى وَدِينِ الۡحَقِّ
لِيُظۡهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ الۡمُشۡرِكُونَ
But Allah will bring His Light to perfection even though the disbelievers hate (it).
He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the idolators hate (it).
We explained the meanings of similar Ayat before, in the Tafsir of Surah Bara'ah. All praise and thanks are due to Allah.
