"They want to extinguish Allah's Light"

"They want to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the disbelievers hate it". [Al-Qur'an 9:32].

Ibn Kathir said:

فمثلهم في ذلك كمثل من يريد أن يطفئ شعاع الشمس أو نور القمر بنفخه وهذا لا سبيل إليه

ENGLISH:

"Their example is the example of he who wants to extinguish the light of the sun or the moon by blowing at them! Indeed, such a person will never accomplish what he sought".

NEDERLANDS:

"Hun voorbeeld is zoals van iemand die met zijn mond richting de zon en de maan blaast, hopend dat het licht daarvan uit zal doven. Hij zal nooit zijn doel bereiken!"

["Tafsir Ibn Kathir", 9/32].
