verse76

(76) قُلْ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ مَا لاَ يَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلاَ نَفْعًا وَاللّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

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."

Commentary:
To complete the former reasonings 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 that many times Jesus was captured by his enemies, or his friends were involved in some inflictions. So, had not been the Grace of Allah, he (a.s.) could do nothing.
And, at the end of the verse, the Qur'an warns them not to imagin 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.
