They intend to extinguish the Light of Lord Allah with their mouths, while Allah will not give up except fulfilling His Light, even though the disbelievers are hating It.
Verse 61: 8 is also having the same Message. The Light is one of the 40 names of Adhikr mentioned in 32 places such as in verses 2: 257; 4: 174; 7: 157 and 14: 1. With the Light and the Clear Book—Adhikr—only one will be guided into the Straightpath as explained in verse 5: 16. Whoever follows the Light sent down upon Messenger will only prosper as explained in verse 7: 157. The Knowledge, Guidance and Enlightening Book mentioned both in verses 22: 8 and 31: 20 is Adhikr. As told in verse 66: 8, the believer’s prayer is: “Our Lord! You perfect our Light to us, and You grant forgiveness upon us; indeed, You are capable upon everything”.
The wrath affected hypocrites and their strayed followers mentioned in verse 1: 7 are intending to extinguish Adhikr—the Light. It is told in verses 57: 12-15: On the Day you see believing men and believing women, their Light will be proceeding in front of them and their right; in this Day you have glad tidings about the paradise beneath which rivers are flowing, you will be eternal in it, it is the great triumph. And on that Day the hypocritical men and hypocritical women will be asking to those who believed: ‘You Wait for us so that we may use from your Light’; they will be replied: ‘You go back to the worldly life and there you seek the Light; then a wall will be formed between them which has a door ’, inside of it is the Mercy, while in outside of it is the punishment. The hypocrites will call the believers: ‘Were we not with you?’ Believers will reply: ‘Yes, but you destroyed yourselves, you were doubtful, you were waiting, you were deceived by your false desires until Command of Allah came, and the great deceiver—Satan—deceived you concerning the Lord. So today no ransom will be accepted from you or your disbelieved followers, your refuge is the Fire, it is the refuge to you, what a wretched is the destination’”. Without transforming the Jinn-soulmate with Adhikr—the Food, Cloth, and Sight of the soul—nobody becomes a believer and will die witnessing against their soul that indeed, they were disbelievers as explained in verses 3: 102 and 7: 37. See explanation 2: 6-7; 4: 140, 174-175 and 9: 67-68.
