( يريدون أن يطفئوا نور الله بأفواههم ) أي : يبطلوا دين الله بألسنتهم وتكذيبهم إياه . وقال الكلبي : النور القرآن ، أي : يريدون أن يردوا القرآن بألسنتهم تكذيبا ، ( ويأبى الله إلا أن يتم نوره ) أي : يعلي دينه ويظهر كلمته ويتم الحق الذي بعث به محمدا صلى الله عليه وسلم ( ولو كره الكافرون ) .
The disbelievers from all the various religious groups who disbelieve by making up wrong beliefs and rejecting Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), wish to eradicate Islam. So they undermine the clear proofs establishing that there is only one God and that His Messenger has brought the truth. However, Allah will not allow anything to stop His sacred path being perfected and being made clear. He will raise His Religion above everything else, even if the disbelievers hate that, and if Allah wills something, others are powerless to prevent it.
