Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
People of the Scriptures try to extinguish the Light of IslamAllah says, the disbelieving idolators and People of the Scriptures want to,أَن يُطْفِئُواْ نُورَ اللَّهِ(extinguish the Light of Allah). They try through argument and lies to extinguish the guidance and religion of truth that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sent with. 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.
