Surah Zumar ayat 45 Tafsir Quran 39:45

﴿وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ ۖ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ﴾
[ الزمر: 45]

39:45 And when Allah is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those [worshipped] other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice.

And when God is mentioned alone that is without the mention of their gods thereat shrink they are repelled and they become constricted the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter; but when those others besides Him namely the idols are mentioned behold they rejoice!

And when the Name of Allah alone is mentioned those who deny the Hereafter grow peevish and their hearts come to be filled with aversion or disgust reflected on their countenances, whereas when other objects of worship -their false gods- are referred to, they rejoice beyond a common Joy

There is no Intercession except with Allah, and how the Idolators are filled with Disgust when Allah Allah condemns the idolators for taking intercessors besides Allah, namely the idols and false gods whom they have taken on the basis of their own whims, with no evidence or proof.
These idols are not able to do anything; they have no minds with which to think, and they cannot hear or see.
They are inanimate and are much worse off than animals.
Then Allah says: `Say -- O Muhammad -- to these people who claim that those whom they have taken as intercessors with Allah, that intercession is of no avail except for the one with whom Allah is pleased and to whom He has granted permission to intercede.
The whole matter rests with Him.' مَن ذَا الَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ ( Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission ) ( 2:255 ). لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ ( His is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. ) means, He is the One Who is in control of all that. ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ( Then to Him you shall be brought back. ) means, `on the Day of Resurrection, then He will judge between you with His justice, and He will reward or punish each person according to his deeds.' Then Allah condemns the idolators further: وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ ( And when Allah Alone is mentioned ) means, when it is said there is no ( true ) God except Allah Alone, اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالاٌّخِرَةِ ( the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust ) Mujahid said, "Their hearts are filled with disgust means they recoil in horror." This is like the Ayah: إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ( Truly, when it was said to them: "La ilaha illa Allah," they puffed themselves up with pride. ) ( 37:35 ) which means, they were too proud to follow it.
Their hearts could not accept anything good, and whoever cannot accept good will accept evil.
Allah says: وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ ( and when those besides Him are mentioned, ) meaning, the idols and false gods -- this was the view of Mujahid -- إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ( behold, they rejoice! ) means, they feel happy.

(39:45) When Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter contract with bitterness, but when deities apart from Allah are mentioned, they are filled with joy. *64

And when Allah is mentioned alone, the meaning

*64) This evil is common to almost all polytheistic people of the world, and even some unfortunate Muslims also suffer from it, They profess with the tongue that they believe in Allah, but when One Allah alone is mentioned before them, their faces arc distorted, and they say, " This man certainly does not believe in the saints and holy men; that is why he talks of Allah and Allah alone.
" And if others besides Allah arc mentioned, they are delighted, and their faces brighten up with joy.
Their this attitude shows as to who is the actual object of their love and esteem.
'Allama Alusi, in his commentary Ruh al-Ma ani, has related his own experience here.
He says: " One day I saw that a man was invoking the help of a dead saint in his affliction.
I said; O bondsman of Allah, invoke Allah, for He Himself says: 'If My servants ask you, O Prophet, concerning Me, tell them I am quite near to them.
I hear and answer the prayer of the supplicant when he calls to Me, " ( AI-Baqarah: 186 ), Hearing this the man became angry, the people told me afterwards that he said: This man is a denier of the saints; and some others heard him also say: The saints answer the prayers more promptly than does Allah."

( And when Allah alone is mentioned ) when it is said to them say: there is no deity except Allah, ( the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter ) in resurrection after death ( are repelled, and when those (whom they worship ) beside Him) i.e. al-Lat, al-’Uzza and Manat ( are mentioned, behold! they are glad ) for the mention of their deities.

And when Allah Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust (from the Oneness of Allah and when those (whom they obey or worship) besides Him [like all false deities other than Allah, it may be a Messenger like 'Iesa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), an angel, a pious man, a jinn, or any other creature even idols, graves of religious people, saints, priests, monks, etc.] are mentioned, behold, they rejoice!
