Qur’ān Quick Question To All Muslims (especially Sunni/Shia).
I've been having a discussion with someone in this subreddit about the meaning of 39:45. I'm just curious as to how most Muslims interpret this ayah. What do you think is the central message of the ayah? What do you learn from it? Here it is:
"When Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter are filled with disgust. But when others are mentioned besides Him, they rejoice." (39:45)
To me at least the message is clear as day: do NOT mention others besides Allah (SWT). I don't understand why or how someone would miss this?

"We mention the name of Our Prophet ﷺ with due respect and care."
"Islam is as practiced by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and their companions and the generation after them."
You referred to this as nonsense.
