The statement in Quran 9:30, 'The Jews say, 'Ezra is the son of God,'' has been a subject of extensive discussion among Islamic scholars and historians. According to classical commentators such as Al-Tabari and Al-Qurtubi, this assertion was not made by all Jews but rather by a specific, and likely small, group, possibly in Arabia. The Quranic statement is understood as a refutation of any belief that attributes a son to God, a central theme in Islamic monotheism. The figure of 'Uzayr is widely identified with the biblical Ezra, who is highly revered in Jewish tradition for his role in restoring the Torah. Some Islamic narratives, like those mentioned by Ibn Kathir, recount a miracle where 'Uzayr was brought back to life after one hundred years, which may have led to his veneration by some. It is crucial to note that mainstream Judaism has never held the belief of Ezra being the son of God.
