Al-Maaida (The Table)

76. "Say: 'Do you worship besides Allah that which possesses for you neither harm nor profit? And Allah -He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."

To complete the former reasoning about Jesus, the Qur'an in this verse remarks to the Christians that they knew that the Messiah was fully in need of what a human being needs. He was not even the possessor of his own harm and his own profit, then how could he be the possessor of their harm and profit? It says:

"Say: 'Do you worship besides Allah that which possesses for you neither harm nor profit..."

That was why Jesus was captured many times by his enemies, or that his friends were involved in some inflictions. So, had not been the Grace of Allah, he (as) could have done nothing.

And, at the end of the verse, the Qur'an warns them not to imagine that Allah does not hear their vain words, or He is not aware of their inside, because He is both Hearing and Knowing.

The verse says:

"... And Allah -He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."!

Explanations

1. For realizing that the path of polytheism is invalid, refer to your own human intellect and sensibility.

2. Except Allah, other gods are incapable even of hearing and knowing your necessities; much less of supplying them.
