The Holy Quran 39:45 — Surah Az-Zumar

Arabic text

وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ ٱشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

Translation

When Allaah the One is mentioned (without mention of their gods, making it clear that only Allaah wields control over the universe), the hearts of those who do not believe in the Aakhirah contract (fill with hatred and dislike). However, when the other gods (of theirs) besides Allaah are mentioned, they suddenly rejoice (become glad).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The idolater’s discomfort at the mention of tawhid (the oneness of Allah): it is characteristic of the idolater that, although at times he acknowledges with his tongue the greatness of Allah and love for Him, his heart is not gladdened by the remembrance and praise of Allah alone.
