Verb form IV — causative

يُرِيدُونَ (They want) uses form IV (أَفْعَلَ) — the أ at the start makes it causative ("to make someone do something").

We translate it as "to make [someone] do" or "to cause [action]".

They want to extinguish the light of Allāh with their mouths, but Allāh refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.
