quran:61:8 –

They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.  

They desire to extinguish (li-yutfi’ū is in the subjunctive form because of an implicit an ˹sc. an yutfi’ū˺, the lām 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 nūrahu: some have read this in the form of a genitive annextation, mutimmu nūrihi) though the disbelievers be averse, to this.
القرآن:٦١:٨ –

يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ  

{يريدون ليطفئوا} منصوب بأن مقدرة واللام مزيدة {نور الله} شرعه وبراهينه {بأفواههم} بأقوالهم إنه سحر وشعر وكهانة {والله متمٌّ} مظهر {نورهُ} وفي قراءة بالإضافة {ولو كره الكافرون} ذلك.
