Ezra son of God
-
Salam to all,
At-Taubah 930
وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَى ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْۖ يُضَٰهِـُٔونَ قَوْلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُۚ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ
The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved . May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?
Where in the Torah say like this? I never read any literature which says Ezra is regarded as son of God
Someone please explain
God bless

Can you say for sure who is this "Uzair" in Arabic.
Can it be Ezra or Azarias or....?
Some say it is Ezra but cannot find any confirmation in the old testament.
It’s also possible that, in the religious climate of pre-Islamic Arabia, ʿUzayr was actually a reference to Azarias, a figure connected to the Old Testament Book of Daniel. He is one of the Jews thrown into the fire by the Babylonians. But instead of burning, The Jews said he looks like ‘a son of God’ (Daniel, 325).
Daniel 3
25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth-Azarias- is like the Son of God"Or do not believe Qoran if you think there is no evidence Jews said that. Or keep looking.
It is one of the many issues people find when wrestling/studying Qoran.
GOD bless you.
Peace. -

Why you want your statement be written in Torah?
Some of Jews claimed Ezra is son of God...So why it must be in Genuine Torah?
What if what they claimed is by later generation of Jews (period of Muhamed) and not by Jews up until Torah is completed.. -
Peace .

"Must have some Jews made it. But its no where to be found."Are you sure?
Go through/show the research done on this to see if it is evidence that the statement in Qoran is a lie?
GOD bless you.

Salam,
Uzayr (عُزَيْرٌ) in verse 930 is not Ezra at all, although both names have cognate roots respectively in Arabic and Hebrew.
In fact, speaking of Ezra in the context of Surah 9 would be a sheer non-sense.Uzayr is a derivative of a word (3zr) whose meaning is "the Instructor".
In Hebrew, there are two words that have this meaning.The first one is Ha-Doresh. A transliteration of this expression in Arabic has given the name "Idris" (briefly mentioned in 1956 and 21.85). That is, the title "Ha-Doresh" in Hebrew gave rise to the proper name "Idris" in Arabic.
The second one derives from the Hebrew root H-N-KH (חֲנוֹךְ) which has given the name Enoch.
In the Jewish traditions, several characters bore the name Enoch.
In the context on my explanation, the correct Enoch is this one https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_(ancestor_of_Noah)Interestingly, this Enoch is also identified to Idris by the classical Muslim tradition.
Enoch is the key figure of several Jewish (apocryphal) books that do not belong to the Old Testament.
I mean for instance the Book of Enoch.Another interesting fact is that Enoch is considered in the Christian tradition as one of the prefigurations of the Christ.
In the Gospel of Luke, Enoch is one of the ancestors of Jesus.
Enoch shares with Jesus the same characteristics to have been taken up to Heaven.In the Book of Enoch, Enoch is called "the Son of Man". The same calling is used in the Gospels about Jesus.
The Book of Enoch has never been transmitted to us through the Jewish Rabbinic tradition.
It has exclusively transmitted through the Ethiopian Christian tradition.On the other hand, fragments of manuscripts of the Book of Enoch have been found among Qumran manuscripts.
So the Book of Enoch was a Jewish text, but only transmitted through a Christian tradition.
In fact, we know much less about ancient Judaism than we usually believe.
We often believe that ancient Judaism was like what Jews believe and practice today.When Qur'an speaks of "Jews", we try to apply what we know of Judaism today on Qur'an.
But this is clearly wrong. Qur'an alluded to a kind of Judaism that has nothing to do with Rabbinic Judaism.In the 19th CE, in the Cairo geniza, a manuscript called the "Damascus Document" dated of the 8th CE has been found.
But in fact, among the Qumran manuscripts, a manuscript of the "Damascus Document", dated around 1th BC, has also been found.This means that in the 8th CE, the old Damascus Document, which fixes the rules of a community, was still transmitted since the time of Qumran.
Therefore, the community that wrote the Damascus Document at the time of Qumran still existed beyond the time of Qur'an, although their beliefs and practices have certainly evolved across centuries.This community that survived from the time of Qumran was very likely the "Jews" that Qur'an alludes to in various verses, and in particular in verse 930.
In this context, the name "Uzayr" was certainly an Arabic literal translation of the name "Enoch". This community believed like their ancestors that Uzayr was the "Son of Man", like the Nassaras (not exactly Christians in my opinion, but Gnostics) believed that Jesus was the Son of Man, and the Son of Man meant the Son of God.
