As a student of history I would like to add, that the Quran, one believes in it or not, is an accepted primary source of history, and specifically the history of religious beliefs in Arabia of 7th century. Thus, the fact that it criticizes a specific Jewish belief which is unknown, is an indication that such belief existed. So in reality it doesn't need to be confirmed by an academical research, in fact, it is a source for that academical research. It shows us the bias and dishonesty of everybody who try to criticize Quran in such term. Thank you Paul for your amazing work!

@@cervezaway7049 God being one makes him unique, it makes him the greatest where no one can be close to He. Divisibility of God is a man-made idea, trying to relate God to them, while God is the Ultimate, the one. Divisibility by its definition is biological, something that doesn't apply to God.
@@cervezaway7049 Let me ask you, can God create a rock that he can't lift? If you answer no, then that means he is restricted, if you answer yes, then that means he is not all-powerful. This conundrum does not take away from God, for we accept by his nature that he is one, the eternal. Our God, in His wisdom, does not divide himself, A God that divides himself does not retain the ability of Oneness and uniqueness, God, by His very nature is the most powerful, the Unique, so dividing Him into a Son, and a Holy Spirit would mean he is not All-powerful, dividing Him would cause more problems then it can solve. Thanks for the response btw!
@@cervezaway7049You didn't answer my previous point about the rock. Also, if God splits or divides that would make Him imperfect, it would go against His nature of being the One. Immutability is an attribute of God, without it, he would not be perfect.
@@cervezaway7049 God wouldn't do against his own attribute of being unique even if he can. If he is all knowing and all powerful he wouldn't remove his knowledge and reduce it to its minuscule of a human mind even though it is within the realm of possibility. Thus we continue any logical claim on the attribute of that that topic. Hope that made sense and guides ya
Ibn ‘Abbaas said: That was said by a group among the Jews who came to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said that. They were: Salaam ibn Mashkam, Nu‘maan ibn Awfa, Shaas ibn Qays, and Maalik ibn as-Sayf. So Allah, may He be exalted, revealed this verse. There are none among the Jews who say that now, as far as we know; rather it was a group among them who said that, and they became extinct. End quote from Ahkaam al-Qur’an (4/299)
Thank you for your explanation! I would like to add a bit of Arabic morphology to consideration: Uzair having double diacritic ending can be taken as an Arabic word and not Arabized word (names of non Arabs are always Arabized in Arabic language and almost all of them lack double diacritic endings). As such, Arabic morphology can be applied to the word. The word then belongs to the group of words scholarly known as "fua'yl" which are mini-versions of other words of Arabic. For example, Umair is 'little amar', husayn is 'little hasan' and so on. These words are usually used to denote affection, as adults have affection for young on average. Perhaps then Uzair can mean 'little Azra' or 'little Ezra'. As to how I took the liberty of Ezra and not Ezar, I have never encountered the Arabic word 'Ezar' so far in Arabic, and as Jews by being Jews will revere a non Arab, I can then take liberty in taking the word that Uzair is a mini version of, to be an Arabized word, in which the best bet will be that the Arabized word was Azra which we better know as Ezra. If this is true, then I can assert that Uzair in the verse was used as a title just as in parallel Messiah is mentioned in the same verse which is too a title and not directly Jesus's name. Benefit of this assertion? Well, it can mean that when the verse addressed the Jews, Allah maintained affection for Ezra by calling him by the title of Uzair while denouncing those Jews for taking him too far as a son of God. In a sense, that is accepting that Allah did have affection for Ezra which we would understand as that of an adult for young but that affection did not imply that Allah had taken him as his young, as Allah is not bound by our limitation that such affections are only between a person and his young. This I think fits like a glove with the understanding you have presented in the video. And Allah knows best.
@@shahfaisalislam8719 great deduction, additionally it could be because the (orthodox) jews consider ezra as a lesser God that's why his name is mentioned based on the fua'yl way.
@Shah Faisal Islam Salaam ya akhi, jazakallah khair for your contribution. One of the claims in Jewish narrations about this entity we are trying to pin down is that he entered paradise and was renamed "the youth" because he was the most recent creation to enter the garden amongst other angels who preceded his arrival. When I started thinking of your examples of suwaighir affectionate nicknames/alqab like Hussain, I remembered this factoid about the meaning of Metatron being interpreted by some to mean "the youth". As time has passed, have you had any additional thoughts on this subject?
thanks , yes it is plausible that Uzair comes from Azar ust like Umair is 'little amar', husayn is 'little hasan' (hence Arabic original is "Azar" apply the fua'yel becomes Uzair, arabaize "Ezra" from Hebrew origin, though I don't know exactly how Jews pronounced it and wrote 2400 years ago) anyone? it can well be even closer in ancient Hebrew pronunciation. Jazak Allah kheir Shah Faisal
Subhannallah! You are a Giant! I have often wondered about this "rebuke" in the Qur'an, Most Muslims understand it from a Tawhid point of view. Honestly, first time for me to understand this very important "Ayat" of the Qur'an historically...Wow! Thank you...
There are some scholars who say that Uzair is Osiris (the most important god in the ancient Egyptian religion) , There are texts in the Old Testament stating that the jews worshiped the gods of the peoples around them (such as the Canaanites and the Egyptians), and Osiris is a Greek name and not the real name (the Greeks add "is" at the end of the name), so the real name is Osir (Uzair "عزير" in Arabic)
There is also a difference regarding to the word Kitab(written book,scripture )referring to Jews and Christians as Ahlu-l-Kitab and Suhuf ,Suhuf Ibrahim and Musa (Suhuf also means Journals) This would require in expert in Arabic language
There is also a group or mysterious sect now living in France in remote areas,the Carians.They are said to have taken in France after the Reqonquista of Andalusia.There is still a minority ,are they connect to the Jewish sect? A lot more to investigate.Everytime you something new to discover in Qur’an you wouldn’t have thought of it before!
Extraordinary topics. I found the word Ezra in The Qu’ran , but didn’t know details about it . Also didn’t know about Bani Elohim and polytheist people from among former people of the book . Thanks for sharing your knowledge . Thank you kindly.
Thanks a lot Paul for this video. As a young Muslim, watching your videos makes me have better faith. Sadly, because of islamaphobes, I keep questioning my faith. Can you please make a video on Surat Tawba, verse 29. (9:29)
advice when reading the Quran is make sure you understand the whoke context of the chapter. "This is˺ a discharge from all obligations,1 by Allah and His Messenger, to the polytheists you ˹believers˺ have entered into treaties with." (9:1) “You ˹polytheists˺ may travel freely through the land for four months, but know that you will have no escape from Allah, and that Allah will disgrace the disbelievers" (9:2) and also in (9:4) " As for the polytheists who have honoured every term of their treaty with you and have not supported an enemy against you, honour your treaty with them until the end of its term. Surely Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺." "And if anyone from the polytheists asks for your protection ˹O Prophet˺, grant it to them so they may hear the Word of Allah, then escort them to a place of safety, for they are a people who have no knowledge. How can such polytheists have a treaty with Allah and His Messenger, except those you have made a treaty with at the Sacred Mosque?1 So, as long as they are true to you, be true to them. Indeed Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him'" (9:6-7) So we can see that this chapter has context behind it, and is not just about mindless murder. If the polytheists who have BROKEN their treaty and were seaking to kill the prophet and his companions were given all these chances and mercy in all forms, then the context of the verses after is regarding war. Islamophobes love to hide these verses because they know their points would get debunked...their lies and propoganda are the SAME ones extremists without context. It would beg to question how on Earth Jews and Arabs lived together in muslim civilisations for the past 1400 years since the Quran was revealed had this verse been interpreted differently by any high emminent muslim scholar or infact any human being with a decent amount of intelligence. There would never have been treaties with non muslim states nor would there have been any christians or jews living in muslim countries, but there are. 9:29 has absolutely nothing wrong with it as remember, this Quran was REVEALED TO PROPHET MUHAMMAD, addressing him directly. The same prophet who had been attacked for years on end and disbelievers/islamophobes looking to completely wipe out islam off the face of the earth. If you are not meant to defend yourself after all those rules stated above for mercy and TONNES MORE in the Quran, I don't know when you can...People focus so much on other people's rights they forget that they themselves are also meant to be truthful and defend themselves in time of need, which anyone would do in a heartbeat "They do not honour the bonds of kinship or treaties with the believers. It is they who are the transgressors. But if they repent, perform prayer, and pay alms-tax, then they are your brothers in faith. This is how We make the revelations clear for people of knowledge." (9:10-11) Have you ever seen a murderer say 'I'm sorry' without some form of punishment and let go from court because of the 'kindness' of the judge. No. So what about the murder of many muslims from the TREATY in which they BROKE. Where they had to pay alms tax after they repent and decided to be peaceful again, where they become your BROTHERS and you PRAY FOR THEM. So much forgiveness considering so much pain and suffering delivered onto the prophet and the muslims. That is mercy. ALSO: "Allah does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are fair. Allah only forbids you from befriending those who have fought you for ˹your˺ faith, driven you out of your homes, or supported ˹others˺ in doing so. And whoever takes them as friends, then it is they who are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers." (60:8-9) Pretty much debunks any extremeist/islamophobe claims about mindless violence in the Quran.
@@TheQuranExplainsItself These are all verses from Quran, no hadith references involved. it states in the Quran that these verses were revealed to prophet Muhammad so we need to understand the context of when/why it was revealed. Even if you don't look at Quran without any history involved, you can't justify any form of terrorism because of the earlier verses in the chapter and several other chapters.
@@speedy6392 I’m not sure I understand you but if you’re saying one can get the idea of terrorism reading the Quran alone than I’m afraid you’re sadly mistaken.

Abu Layth would be taken much more seriously if he didn't behave so ridiculously. He's extremely knowledgeable. Better than anyone I've come across online.
@@dbr295 Many things he says are half-truths if you research things further you’ll discover this yourself - that has been my experience. What you said about him can also be said of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad: if only he hadn’t claimed prophethood he would be taken seriously as he was very knowledgeable.
@@ibnyasin Probably the worst thing that came out of the Ahmadiyya/Qadyani movement was that it discredited the Eesah in India hypothesis due to guilty association. It's more plausible, has more evidence than anything the criminal church puts out. The second coming & ascension is a latter day Christian doctrine (no surprise there, the entire religion is like that) that has been superimposed onto the Quranic text in light of the eschatological hadiths primarily narrated by Abu Hurrairah & Zuhri. It's another reason why the hadiths should be questioned, "sahih" or otherwise. He's dead, buried & not coming back just like all the prophets.
Did you find any etymological data linking Metatron to Uzayr? This is notwithstanding that the Quranic term could be descriptive/coded such as Dhul-Kifl etc…
Indeed,most informative-Fallen Angel -Scribe,Satan- Tawoos Malik(Ezides) ,in the Quran Iblis used to be with the angels,though he was a Djinn,occupied a high rank,but was rejected and cursed because of his obedience and rebellion.Talmud was written in Babylon-creator angel-Magic and mysticism - Manifest of Satan-Harut and Marut in Babylon telling people not to get deviated-Several Elohim -Bani Elohim-the term Sciptures-Jews came to settle around Madinah because they were awaiting a Savior,a prophet to come,there are a few hints for much more research.I really liked this videos
Very interesting, make sense if we loking at Qur'anic attack on the blind past tradition. Also one verse after that said "They took they rabbis as lord"-..
One amazing other miracle of the great Quran, your info just dragged my attention how specific and accurate Is the use of names on Quran, i the the karaite will not to be considered as jews, they rejected this Rabbinc form of polytheism as you mentioned, they stuck to monotheistic Moses guidelines ,the Abrahimic monotheistic named initially by prophet Abraham as Islam long before
The use of names and titles in the Quran is indeed interestingly accurate. Just like how Allah calls The ruler of Egypt Pharaoh in Moses’ time and King in the earlier periods.
@@syedazfar979 He meant The Quran refers to the ruler at the time of Musa AS as 'pharoah' and the ruler at the time of Yousuf AS as 'King' , which we know today is historically accurate based on research (On the contrary, the bible refers to both of them as pharoah, which is historically inaccurate)
So Ezra would be like a 2nd Enoch ? Is عزير the same person as إدريس ? Or do they merely share similarities ? Sorry I'm not English I may have misunderstood
Asalamu alaykum brother, May I suggest that Uzair is an Arabic name, not foreign. If you look at all the names in the Quran of non Arabs, if it has 4 or more letters, it takes only one vowel at the end, not two. It is Uzairun not Uzairu . Also the belief needs to be mainstream, not from an unknown or forgotten heretical sect because it says: 'The jews say ....' not some of them , or a group of them. Please consider the opinion I shared not long ago.
Azir " in the language of the Arabs is "Ezra" in the language of the Jews. As the Arabs changed in some of the words that she received from foreign languages and conducted on her tongue, as in the show of love especially, the word became smaller, so Ezra was reduced to Azir, and the Hebrew word Jesus was changed to Jesus in Arabic, and John to Yahya. After all, Ezra-or Ezra-has a special place in the history of the Jews, and some even claim to have laid the foundation stone of the Jewish nation, building their glory. In fact, he has a great service to their religion, because Bakht Nasr, King of Babylon, destroyed the Jews in his famous reality, and made their cities under the control of his soldiers, they annihilated them, demolished their temples, burned their Torahs, killed their men, cursed their women, captured their children, and brought them to Babylon, so they stayed there for about a century. When Cyrus, the king of Persia, opened Babylon, Ezra came to him, and he was one of the oldest Jews, and he begged him in the Jews, and they went home, and he wrote to them the Torah-which remained in his mind of his Jewish ancestors, and what had happened to him-again. Therefore, they respect him very much and consider him their saviour and the revivalist of their law. This caused a group of them to call him "the son of God." However, some accounts-as in the protest of Al-tabarsi-claim that they gave this title out of respect for him rather than in truth. But in the same account, we read that the Prophet asked them: "if you manifest Azir and honor him for his great services, and you call him this name, then why do you not call Moses, and he is greater to you than Azir, by this name? They did not find an answer to the question, and they knocked their heads." In any case, this designation was more than a matter of reverence and respect in the minds of a group of them. And what is familiar to the public, they hold this concept for what it is, and they claim that he is truly the son of God, because he saved them from destruction and loss, and raised their heads by writing the Torah anew. Of course, this belief was not prevalent among all Jews, but it is reported that this perception or belief was prevalent among a group of them, especially in the era of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). As evidence of this, none of the history books mentioned that when they heard the aforementioned verse, they protested against the prophet, or denied this saying, "even if it was gum." From what we have said, the following question can be answered: it is not among the Jews in our time who claim that Azira is the son of God, nor who believes in this belief.! To make this clear, not all Jews need to have such a belief, as it is enough to be recognized that, in the era of the descent of the verses on the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), there were those who believed in this belief in the Jews. The evidence of this is that none of them denied this to the prophet, and the only thing that was given to them, according to some accounts, was that they said, "This title is only for the respect of Azir", and they were unable to answer what he asked them, and they formed on them: why not then make this title for your prophet Moses?! In any case, when a word or belief is attributed to a people, it is not necessary that everyone agree, but that it is enough to have a group of people who go there.
Ezra could have brought in Zorastrian influence of sub gods of creation from Iran and Babylon. Zurvan of time ( angel or god), a sub god, Yazata god of order and suppression of evil. Zurvan is ancient though it had a revival later at during the Sassanid period, Besides these influences from the East, the suboptimal creation god, the demiurge of Plato may also have influenced such thinking.
In the Apocalypse of Zerubbabel Metatron is not identified as Enoch. Instead he is identified as the archangel Michael.[8]:86[11]:183-185 The text also records that Metatron in gematria is the equivalent of Shadday.[11]:55, 184 While he also appears in other apocalyptic writings he is most prominent in the Apocalypse of Zerubbabel.[11]:183-184 In these writings he plays the role of heavenly interlocutor delivering knowledge about the coming messianic age.[11]:184
Everyone is mistaken on the matter. The Ezra in question is not a man, it is talking about Osiris! In Ancient Egyptian they called it Ausar, hence Uzayr in the Arabic language! You get it from the seed of the letters 'ZR = The hamza of the Ancient Egyptian became a Ayn as the hamza/3ayn graphic are similar in the Arabic script. This same Osiris/Uzayr is called metatron in Jewish Kaballah. He is the angel sitting at the top of the tree as a sort of intermediary between the absolute Ayn Soph and the world (Kether sphere), hence why "Son of God". Hope that helped
I wonder what a mind like yours could bring forth if you could actually read and understand seventh century Arabic and be able to read the Quran in its original form. I am a student of theology, who reads Arabic, and am thoroughly enjoying the content of your videos.
enoch/idris (as) the first human to write with the pen the first human to raise an army to fight corruption on earth before dhull qarnayn was doing it. the important lesson to be learned here is divine decree stated that the angel of death was allowed to take his soul only if he arrives on the 4th heaven. enoch/idris (as)'s free will brought him to the 4th heaven to ask for an extension to stay longer on earth. divine decree vs free will..
Michael, who is (also) Metatron, answered me saying: ‘I am the angel who guided Abraham throughout all the land of Canaan. I blessed him in the name of the Lord. I am the one who redeemed Isaac and [wept] for him. I am the one who wrestled with Jacob at the crossing of the Jabbok. I am the one who guided Israel in the wilderness for forty years in the name of the Lord. I am the one who appeared to Joshua at Gilgal, and I am the one who rained down brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah. He placed His name within me: Metatron in gematria is the equivalent of Shadday. As for you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, whose name is Jeconiah, ask me and I will tell you what will happen at the End of Days.’

I know you are making a different point to establish the fact that a Jewish sect once believed Ezra to be divine. But please use exact translation JazalAllahkhair
If Uzair were Idris, God would have chosen that word "idris" it could be diminutive (affectionate) of Azar like Omar =Umayer Hasan= husain Azar= uzair azar then could have been the arabized Hebrew, or the name itself in old Arabic.
This analysis makes Uzair, Enoch. Because Enoch was transformed into Metatron. And therefore, the old assertion that Idris is Hermes or Thoth is more accurate. Taking into account that the translation of the Hermetic Corpus is strictly Monotheistic.
Read Esdras Book. Ezra keeps fasting for days and then has conversations with the angel Uriel. Uriel teaches and shows Ezra apocalyptic visions. He mentions a Jewish Messiah from Davids descendants coming to judge people at the end times and this Messiah is referred to as Son of God in the Esdras Book.

Do you think METATRON could be the “ROOH” that Jewish asked PROPHET (PU) about him . And Quran says “they don’t have no knowledge about him but very little “ ROOH MENTIONED FEW TIMES IN WURAN BISIDE ANGLES ALLAH O ALAM

Thank you for your VERY interesting expositions. I looked up Karaite Jews and was struck by the images of their places of worship - they look so similar to inside a Mosque. Worshippers sitting on carpets and reading as Muslims sit reading the Qur'an. Even men prostrating - but not putting their heads on the floor. Much could be learned by observing their service and mode of prayers. Their numbers are small but perhaps you have a congregation near you - I live in Canada and doubt if there is one here. In another program, you mentioned Jews who followed Jesus as a Prophet and they embraced Islam - I wonder perhaps whether they were Karaite Jews whose numbers dwindled following conversion to Islam!
This our great Sheikh is trying to bring the people to the light from the darknesses as it in Holy Quran. Our beloved Prophet than anything else even our own souis was too ordered by Allah The Almighty to do so. A Great Channel-Masha Allah!
Well done thank you. So Uzair = Ezra (Esdras) = Idris = Enoch = Metatron. I previously thought Uzair = Ezra-El (archangel of death whose name is not mentioned among other archangels in Quran) = Osiris (Egyptian god of the underworld) = Baal (known to be worshipped by the people of Judea). For me, this Quran verse is comparing the belief of early Jews (people of Judea) to the belief of late Jews (people of Nazareth or Nazarenes). That the verse mentions the Messiah instead of Jesus, is definitely not a coincidence.
259. Or (bethink thee of) the like of him who, passing by a township which had fallen into utter ruin, exclaimed: How shall Allah give this township life after its death? And Allah made him die a hundred years, then brought him back to life. He said: How long hast thou tarried? (The man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: Nay, but thou hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which have not rotted! Look at thine ass! And, that We may make thee a token unto mankind, look at the bones, how We adjust them and then cover them with flesh! And when (the matter) became clear unto him, he said: I know now that Allah is Able to do all things.
Dear Paul and Truthbearers (Persipicocious Believing Muslims), one should weary of where and from whom one aquires knowledge on the religion of Islam and IN the religion of Islam and especially matters that pertain to finer details of Aqeedah creed pertaining to creed on ilaahiyaat Divinities, Nabawiyaat Prophethood matters, and Sam3iyyaat "Heard Reports" what has been reported to us (what the Prophet related to us whether seen or unseen - especially regarding things, which cannot be fully comprehended until after death and in very few instances in ones life, like witnessing the jinn, or people like alKhidr, or the angels, or other unseen things and happenings). In this case, the author of that book, the history of the jews in Arabia, Gordon Newby, adds poisonous claim and insinuations in and to his research findings in the midst of his quest into Jewish religious communities and their differences and the references made in the scriptures and in particular, the Qur'an, one over the other. Qur'an's siding with one or the other over the wrongful one. His poisonous injection comes where he slyly points to God approving anthropomorphism in the Qur'an referencing in his demiseful delight to verse 64 of Surat alMaïdah chapter 5 refering to God's reply to 《the jew(s) who said God's yad [hand, generosity, benevolence, might] is maghloola, (as in, Shackled, dysfunctional, hindered, overpoweringly closed belittling God )》 rebuking his/their blasphemy by affirming His perfection by replying to them in kind in the Dual form. God Rebukingly replies, 《shackled are their hands,》 《Rather My *yadaay* 》 in the dual form of the noun yad 《are *mbSouTTa-taan* , (both Drawn Open at My Disposal) He gives according to His wish》. This ignorant academic critic does not have a sound grasp of the Arabic language and its or the Arab allegorical ways of speech so he assumes that God is implying that he has two hands or that he is tacitly affirming anthropomorphism. Well this is exactly where he or such researchers make wrongful indications and awaringly or unawaringly add a poisonous injection and it is where he has fallen short in whatever he claims or what they or the jews claim to be doing with regards refering to the Divine or the Truth or the Truthful or Truthful Law of living truthfully. Adding drops of arsenic into your glass of pure milk. Its not pure milk anymore nor is it safe to drink. This is a common ignorant nonArab ignoramous mistake treating Arabic texts. God replies in kind affirming His Displeasure by affirming His Perfection in Might Generosity countering their superficial understanding with what they would deem as perfect in their anthropomorphism. But in no way is God approving anthropomorphism on His Being or allowing it for the Believers to understand about Him and His Sublime Exalted Nature because He has negated any imperfection any similitude with anyone or anything in any way shape or form whether in His Being, Names, Attributes, Action, Attitude or Behavior, in other clearcut fixed unambiguous verses. Though He affirms for Himself Sight, Hearing, Speech, Knowledge, Life, and Self-Existence and Subsistence, Will and Command over all. قل هو الله أحد الله الصمد لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفوا أحد. ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصير. وكلم الله موسى تكليما . فعال لما يريد وما تشاؤون إلا أن يشاء الله رب العالمين لا يعزب عنه مثقال ذرة فمن يعمل مثقال ذرة خيرا يره ومن يعمل مثقال ذرة شرا يره يعلم خائنة الأعين وما تخفي الصدور والله خلقكم وما تعملون قل هو القادر ... إن الله على كل شيء قدير شهيد وهو بصير وهو سميع وهو عليم وهو خبير هو الله الذي لا إله إلا هو الحي القيوم

Idris a.s. was taken upto the 4th heaven and his soul was taken by Malak ul Maut at the 4th heaven as per the islamic traditions, so it may just be , as this text claims, but the corruption of the jewish text usually makes matters complicated and deviated from the truth. But the Quran explains Idris a.s and Uzair a.s. separately, so ......! ALLAH U AALAM

@@BloggingTheology Ahmadi Muslims hold the unique belief that Jesus (peace be upon him) survived the crucifixion and travelled towards India to continue his ministry among the Lost Tribes of Israel. Furthermore, they claim that his tomb, containing his body, has been recently re-discovered in India where it can be seen to this day. Ahmadi Muslims also assert that this belief is not only upheld by the Holy Quran and the Sayings of Muhammad (sa), but even by the Holy Bible itself.
Its quite amusing to hear the Jews act all innocent when Izra is mentioned claiming that they don't even know such a man. This Quran doesn't leave a stone unturned, exposing either that liar or that forger. Seems God doesn't take kindly to the corruption to his scripture. Also it sounds like the Rabbinic Jews went & added the worship of the two angels sent as an incitement & a test to Babylon. That explains the disruptive magic they learned from them or their legacy. That form of magic taught how to put curses on ppl & disrupt their lives. False instruments of empowerment that led many desperate humans to vile sorcery & employment of Jinn. Its entirely possible that a scholarly faction of the exiled Jews in Babylon, impatient with the trial of exile, reached for this as a way out of their humiliation. The next step would be to convince their ppl which would entail the addition of angelic personalities to divine script leading to a reverence of them as demigods. That must have led to a division among the Jews into Karaite, Rabbinic etc. Those who stuck to original scripture repented & stood firm & the others who splintered off. The oral law being a narration was an exceedingly fertile ground for such addition. And with such lack of shame among their clergy who knows what they did to original text as well
Uzair also Ezekiel story in Quran chapter two Al Bakara after the story of David .The fall of David and Solomon king doom the Jews were taken slave to Babylon among them was Uzair or Ezekiel. According to Jews Ezekiel saw a dream the second comming of Jews after the first fall and known as the Ezekiel prophecies. Uzair was going back to Jerusalem to re write the Torah after five years at that time the Jerusalem was not rebuilt so God made him dead for hundred year and woken him up .Ezekiel than re wrote the Torah and his prophecies including 38 the destroying of six Muslim Nations to prevent the second Babylon which has been fully implemented.
22 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. 2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. Genesis 22 get it... God to Abraham and the Angel of the Lord both occasions Abraham said here I AM
As a student of history I would like to add, that the Quran, one believes in it or not, is an accepted primary source of history, and specifically the history of religious beliefs in Arabia of 7th century. Thus, the fact that it criticizes a specific Jewish belief which is unknown, is an indication that such belief existed. So in reality it doesn't need to be confirmed by an academical research, in fact, it is a source for that academical research. It shows us the bias and dishonesty of everybody who try to criticize Quran in such term. Thank you Paul for your amazing work!

@@cervezaway7049 God being one makes him unique, it makes him the greatest where no one can be close to He. Divisibility of God is a man-made idea, trying to relate God to them, while God is the Ultimate, the one. Divisibility by its definition is biological, something that doesn't apply to God.

Our God, in His wisdom, does not divide himself, A God that divides himself does not retain the ability of Oneness and uniqueness, God, by His very nature is the most powerful, the Unique, so dividing Him into a Son, and a Holy Spirit would mean he is not All-powerful, dividing Him would cause more problems then it can solve.

Ibn ‘Abbaas said: That was said by a group among the Jews who came to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said that. They were: Salaam ibn Mashkam, Nu‘maan ibn Awfa, Shaas ibn Qays, and Maalik ibn as-Sayf. So Allah, may He be exalted, revealed this verse. There are none among the Jews who say that now, as far as we know; rather it was a group among them who said that, and they became extinct.
End quote from Ahkaam al-Qur’an (4/299)
Sometimes a simple explanation like this is the right answer but people tend to complicate things.
Thank you for your explanation!
I would like to add a bit of Arabic morphology to consideration: Uzair having double diacritic ending can be taken as an Arabic word and not Arabized word (names of non Arabs are always Arabized in Arabic language and almost all of them lack double diacritic endings).
As such, Arabic morphology can be applied to the word. The word then belongs to the group of words scholarly known as "fua'yl" which are mini-versions of other words of Arabic. For example, Umair is 'little amar', husayn is 'little hasan' and so on. These words are usually used to denote affection, as adults have affection for young on average.
Perhaps then Uzair can mean 'little Azra' or 'little Ezra'. As to how I took the liberty of Ezra and not Ezar, I have never encountered the Arabic word 'Ezar' so far in Arabic, and as Jews by being Jews will revere a non Arab, I can then take liberty in taking the word that Uzair is a mini version of, to be an Arabized word, in which the best bet will be that the Arabized word was Azra which we better know as Ezra.
If this is true, then I can assert that Uzair in the verse was used as a title just as in parallel Messiah is mentioned in the same verse which is too a title and not directly Jesus's name.
Benefit of this assertion? Well, it can mean that when the verse addressed the Jews, Allah maintained affection for Ezra by calling him by the title of Uzair while denouncing those Jews for taking him too far as a son of God. In a sense, that is accepting that Allah did have affection for Ezra which we would understand as that of an adult for young but that affection did not imply that Allah had taken him as his young, as Allah is not bound by our limitation that such affections are only between a person and his young.
This I think fits like a glove with the understanding you have presented in the video.
And Allah knows best.
thank you!
@@BloggingTheology You're most welcome!
@@shahfaisalislam8719 great deduction, additionally it could be because the (orthodox) jews consider ezra as a lesser God that's why his name is mentioned based on the fua'yl way.
@Shah Faisal Islam
Salaam ya akhi, jazakallah khair for your contribution. One of the claims in Jewish narrations about this entity we are trying to pin down is that he entered paradise and was renamed "the youth" because he was the most recent creation to enter the garden amongst other angels who preceded his arrival. When I started thinking of your examples of suwaighir affectionate nicknames/alqab like Hussain, I remembered this factoid about the meaning of Metatron being interpreted by some to mean "the youth". As time has passed, have you had any additional thoughts on this subject?
thanks , yes it is plausible that Uzair comes from Azar ust like Umair is 'little amar', husayn is 'little hasan' (hence Arabic original is "Azar" apply the fua'yel becomes Uzair, arabaize "Ezra" from Hebrew origin, though I don't know exactly how Jews pronounced it and wrote 2400 years ago) anyone? it can well be even closer in ancient Hebrew pronunciation.
Jazak Allah kheir Shah Faisal

Alhamdu Lillah, this piece has brought so much relief to me with regards the verse.
There are some scholars who say that Uzair is Osiris (the most important god in the ancient Egyptian religion) , There are texts in the Old Testament stating that the jews worshiped the gods of the peoples around them (such as the Canaanites and the Egyptians), and Osiris is a Greek name and not the real name (the Greeks add "is" at the end of the name), so the real name is Osir (Uzair "عزير" in Arabic)

You rock Paul !!! We need your insights…
Shukran Paul. I am enjoying your videos and appreciate the research you do. It's motivating me to do more research myself. 😁
Wonderful!
Thanks a lot Paul for this video. As a young Muslim, watching your videos makes me have better faith. Sadly, because of islamaphobes, I keep questioning my faith. Can you please make a video on Surat Tawba, verse 29. (9:29)
advice when reading the Quran is make sure you understand the whoke context of the chapter. "This is˺ a discharge from all obligations,1 by Allah and His Messenger, to the polytheists you ˹believers˺ have entered into treaties with." (9:1) “You ˹polytheists˺ may travel freely through the land for four months, but know that you will have no escape from Allah, and that Allah will disgrace the disbelievers" (9:2) and also in (9:4) "
As for the polytheists who have honoured every term of their treaty with you and have not supported an enemy against you, honour your treaty with them until the end of its term. Surely Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺."
"And if anyone from the polytheists asks for your protection ˹O Prophet˺, grant it to them so they may hear the Word of Allah, then escort them to a place of safety, for they are a people who have no knowledge. How can such polytheists have a treaty with Allah and His Messenger, except those you have made a treaty with at the Sacred Mosque?1 So, as long as they are true to you, be true to them. Indeed Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him'" (9:6-7)
So we can see that this chapter has context behind it, and is not just about mindless murder. If the polytheists who have BROKEN their treaty and were seaking to kill the prophet and his companions were given all these chances and mercy in all forms, then the context of the verses after is regarding war. Islamophobes love to hide these verses because they know their points would get debunked...their lies and propoganda are the SAME ones extremists without context. It would beg to question how on Earth Jews and Arabs lived together in muslim civilisations for the past 1400 years since the Quran was revealed had this verse been interpreted differently by any high emminent muslim scholar or infact any human being with a decent amount of intelligence. There would never have been treaties with non muslim states nor would there have been any christians or jews living in muslim countries, but there are. 9:29 has absolutely nothing wrong with it as remember, this Quran was REVEALED TO PROPHET MUHAMMAD, addressing him directly. The same prophet who had been attacked for years on end and disbelievers/islamophobes looking to completely wipe out islam off the face of the earth. If you are not meant to defend yourself after all those rules stated above for mercy and TONNES MORE in the Quran, I don't know when you can...People focus so much on other people's rights they forget that they themselves are also meant to be truthful and defend themselves in time of need, which anyone would do in a heartbeat
"They do not honour the bonds of kinship or treaties with the believers. It is they who are the transgressors. But if they repent, perform prayer, and pay alms-tax, then they are your brothers in faith. This is how We make the revelations clear for people of knowledge." (9:10-11) Have you ever seen a murderer say 'I'm sorry' without some form of punishment and let go from court because of the 'kindness' of the judge. No. So what about the murder of many muslims from the TREATY in which they BROKE. Where they had to pay alms tax after they repent and decided to be peaceful again, where they become your BROTHERS and you PRAY FOR THEM. So much forgiveness considering so much pain and suffering delivered onto the prophet and the muslims. That is mercy.
ALSO:
"Allah does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are fair. Allah only forbids you from befriending those who have fought you for ˹your˺ faith, driven you out of your homes, or supported ˹others˺ in doing so. And whoever takes them as friends, then it is they who are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers." (60:8-9) Pretty much debunks any extremeist/islamophobe claims about mindless violence in the Quran.

It's another reason why the hadiths should be questioned, "sahih" or otherwise. He's dead, buried & not coming back just like all the prophets.

Thank you Paul, very insightful video -clarifying how and why some of the earlier Jews took Ezra to be the son of God.
Asalamu alaykum brother, May I suggest that Uzair is an Arabic name, not foreign. If you look at all the names in the Quran of non Arabs, if it has 4 or more letters, it takes only one vowel at the end, not two. It is Uzairun not Uzairu . Also the belief needs to be mainstream, not from an unknown or forgotten heretical sect because it says: 'The jews say ....' not some of them , or a group of them. Please consider the opinion I shared not long ago.
Superb, Saul! Superb.
Thank you so much 😀
Azir " in the language of the Arabs is "Ezra" in the language of the Jews. As the Arabs changed in some of the words that she received from foreign languages and conducted on her tongue, as in the show of love especially, the word became smaller, so Ezra was reduced to Azir, and the Hebrew word Jesus was changed to Jesus in Arabic, and John to Yahya.
After all, Ezra-or Ezra-has a special place in the history of the Jews, and some even claim to have laid the foundation stone of the Jewish nation, building their glory. In fact, he has a great service to their religion, because Bakht Nasr, King of Babylon, destroyed the Jews in his famous reality, and made their cities under the control of his soldiers, they annihilated them, demolished their temples, burned their Torahs, killed their men, cursed their women, captured their children, and brought them to Babylon, so they stayed there for about a century.
When Cyrus, the king of Persia, opened Babylon, Ezra came to him, and he was one of the oldest Jews, and he begged him in the Jews, and they went home, and he wrote to them the Torah-which remained in his mind of his Jewish ancestors, and what had happened to him-again. Therefore, they respect him very much and consider him their saviour and the revivalist of their law.
This caused a group of them to call him "the son of God." However, some accounts-as in the protest of Al-tabarsi-claim that they gave this title out of respect for him rather than in truth.
But in the same account, we read that the Prophet asked them: "if you manifest Azir and honor him for his great services, and you call him this name, then why do you not call Moses, and he is greater to you than Azir, by this name? They did not find an answer to the question, and they knocked their heads."
In any case, this designation was more than a matter of reverence and respect in the minds of a group of them. And what is familiar to the public, they hold this concept for what it is, and they claim that he is truly the son of God, because he saved them from destruction and loss, and raised their heads by writing the Torah anew.
Of course, this belief was not prevalent among all Jews, but it is reported that this perception or belief was prevalent among a group of them, especially in the era of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). As evidence of this, none of the history books mentioned that when they heard the aforementioned verse, they protested against the prophet, or denied this saying, "even if it was gum."
From what we have said, the following question can be answered: it is not among the Jews in our time who claim that Azira is the son of God, nor who believes in this belief.!
To make this clear, not all Jews need to have such a belief, as it is enough to be recognized that, in the era of the descent of the verses on the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), there were those who believed in this belief in the Jews. The evidence of this is that none of them denied this to the prophet, and the only thing that was given to them, according to some accounts, was that they said, "This title is only for the respect of Azir", and they were unable to answer what he asked them, and they formed on them: why not then make this title for your prophet Moses?!
In any case, when a word or belief is attributed to a people, it is not necessary that everyone agree, but that it is enough to have a group of people who go there.
I can't believe I searched for it and found you sir..😊❤️

Zurvan is ancient though it had a revival later at during the Sassanid period, Besides these influences from the East, the suboptimal creation god, the demiurge of Plato may also have influenced such thinking.

In the Apocalypse of Zerubbabel Metatron is not identified as Enoch. Instead he is identified as the archangel Michael.[8]:86[11]:183-185 The text also records that Metatron in gematria is the equivalent of Shadday.[11]:55, 184 While he also appears in other apocalyptic writings he is most prominent in the Apocalypse of Zerubbabel.[11]:183-184 In these writings he plays the role of heavenly interlocutor delivering knowledge about the coming messianic age.[11]:184
Everyone is mistaken on the matter. The Ezra in question is not a man, it is talking about Osiris! In Ancient Egyptian they called it Ausar, hence Uzayr in the Arabic language! You get it from the seed of the letters 'ZR = The hamza of the Ancient Egyptian became a Ayn as the hamza/3ayn graphic are similar in the Arabic script. This same Osiris/Uzayr is called metatron in Jewish Kaballah. He is the angel sitting at the top of the tree as a sort of intermediary between the absolute Ayn Soph and the world (Kether sphere), hence why "Son of God". Hope that helped
good work Paul thanks for your efforts
I wonder what a mind like yours could bring forth if you could actually read and understand seventh century Arabic and be able to read the Quran in its original form. I am a student of theology, who reads Arabic, and am thoroughly enjoying the content of your videos.
enoch/idris (as) the first human to write with the pen the first human to raise an army to fight corruption on earth before dhull qarnayn was doing it. the important lesson to be learned here is divine decree stated that the angel of death was allowed to take his soul only if he arrives on the 4th heaven. enoch/idris (as)'s free will brought him to the 4th heaven to ask for an extension to stay longer on earth. divine decree vs free will..
Michael, who is (also) Metatron, answered me saying: ‘I am the angel who guided Abraham throughout all the land of Canaan. I blessed him in the name of the Lord. I am the one who redeemed Isaac and [wept] for him. I am the one who wrestled with Jacob at the crossing of the Jabbok. I am the one who guided Israel in the wilderness for forty years in the name of the Lord. I am the one who appeared to Joshua at Gilgal, and I am the one who rained down brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah. He placed His name within me: Metatron in gematria is the equivalent of Shadday. As for you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, whose name is Jeconiah, ask me and I will tell you what will happen at the End of Days.’

So is it Enoch or Ezra?? Arent they two different people? I mean the metetron?
The big question here does this rabbanic theology has to do with Kabbalah
Very 8nformative good job brother
If Uzair were Idris, God would have chosen that word "idris" it could be diminutive (affectionate) of Azar
like Omar =Umayer Hasan= husain Azar= uzair azar then could have been the arabized Hebrew, or the name itself in old Arabic.
This analysis makes Uzair, Enoch. Because Enoch was transformed into Metatron. And therefore, the old assertion that Idris is Hermes or Thoth is more accurate. Taking into account that the translation of the Hermetic Corpus is strictly Monotheistic.
Well I didn't hear about Ezra from a Rabbi but I found out about it from you...thank you so much...

And I have also read and found the same exact words i.e. Son of God, My Son, My Son the Messiah in all Turkish translations available.
Do you think METATRON could be the “ROOH” that Jewish asked PROPHET (PU) about him . And Quran says “they don’t have no knowledge about him but very little “
ROOH MENTIONED FEW TIMES IN WURAN BISIDE ANGLES
ALLAH O ALAM
Br Paul. The correct pronounciation of Allah is Al-lah, with a double 'l'. U read it as Alah, which is incorrect.
So, what! Does it matter? Does God not understand his pronunciation that he is referring to HIM? Is not it an English-speaking expression that they do not stress on double consonant sound like an Arabian?
The video is not meant for Allah but for the viewers. I merely suggested the correct pronounciation. He is free to decide which one to use.

Metatron sounds like a decepticon

Thank you for your VERY
interesting expositions. I looked up Karaite Jews and was struck by the images of their places of worship - they look so similar to inside a Mosque. Worshippers sitting on carpets and reading as Muslims sit reading the Qur'an. Even men prostrating - but not putting their heads on the floor. Much could be learned by observing their service and mode of prayers. Their numbers are small but perhaps you have a congregation near you - I live in Canada and doubt if there is one here. In another program, you mentioned Jews who followed Jesus as a Prophet and they embraced Islam - I wonder perhaps whether they were Karaite Jews whose numbers dwindled following conversion to Islam!
Look up ebionites
This our great Sheikh is trying to bring the people to the light from the darknesses as it in Holy Quran.
Our beloved Prophet than anything else even our own souis was too ordered by Allah The Almighty to do so.
A Great Channel-Masha Allah!
Br. Paul is not a sheikh, pls dont call him that
Well done thank you. So Uzair = Ezra (Esdras) = Idris = Enoch = Metatron. I previously thought Uzair = Ezra-El (archangel of death whose name is not mentioned among other archangels in Quran) = Osiris (Egyptian god of the underworld) = Baal (known to be worshipped by the people of Judea). For me, this Quran verse is comparing the belief of early Jews (people of Judea) to the belief of late Jews (people of Nazareth or Nazarenes). That the verse mentions the Messiah instead of Jesus, is definitely not a coincidence.

259. Or (bethink thee of) the like of him who, passing by a township which had fallen into utter ruin, exclaimed: How shall Allah give this township life after its death? And Allah made him die a hundred years, then brought him back to life. He said: How long hast thou tarried? (The man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: Nay, but thou hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which have not rotted! Look at thine ass! And, that We may make thee a token unto mankind, look at the bones, how We adjust them and then cover them with flesh! And when (the matter) became clear unto him, he said: I know now that Allah is Able to do all things.

Dear Paul and Truthbearers (Persipicocious Believing Muslims), one should weary of where and from whom one aquires knowledge on the religion of Islam and IN the religion of Islam and especially matters that pertain to finer details of Aqeedah creed pertaining to creed on ilaahiyaat Divinities, Nabawiyaat Prophethood matters, and Sam3iyyaat "Heard Reports" what has been reported to us (what the Prophet related to us whether seen or unseen - especially regarding things, which cannot be fully comprehended until after death and in very few instances in ones life, like witnessing the jinn, or people like alKhidr, or the angels, or other unseen things and happenings).
In this case, the author of that book, the history of the jews in Arabia, Gordon Newby, adds poisonous claim and insinuations in and to his research findings in the midst of his quest into Jewish religious communities and their differences and the references made in the scriptures and in particular, the Qur'an, one over the other. Qur'an's siding with one or the other over the wrongful one. His poisonous injection comes where he slyly points to God approving anthropomorphism in the Qur'an referencing in his demiseful delight to verse 64 of Surat alMaïdah chapter 5 refering to God's reply to 《the jew(s) who said God's yad [hand, generosity, benevolence, might] is maghloola, (as in, Shackled, dysfunctional, hindered, overpoweringly closed belittling God )》 rebuking his/their blasphemy by affirming His perfection by replying to them in kind in the Dual form. God Rebukingly replies, 《shackled are their hands,》 《Rather My *yadaay* 》 in the dual form of the noun yad 《are *mbSouTTa-taan* , (both Drawn Open at My Disposal) He gives according to His wish》. This ignorant academic critic does not have a sound grasp of the Arabic language and its or the Arab allegorical ways of speech so he assumes that God is implying that he has two hands or that he is tacitly affirming anthropomorphism. Well this is exactly where he or such researchers make wrongful indications and awaringly or unawaringly add a poisonous injection and it is where he has fallen short in whatever he claims or what they or the jews claim to be doing with regards refering to the Divine or the Truth or the Truthful or Truthful Law of living truthfully. Adding drops of arsenic into your glass of pure milk. Its not pure milk anymore nor is it safe to drink.
This is a common ignorant nonArab ignoramous mistake treating Arabic texts.
God replies in kind affirming His Displeasure by affirming His Perfection in Might Generosity countering their superficial understanding with what they would deem as perfect in their anthropomorphism. But in no way is God approving anthropomorphism on His Being or allowing it for the Believers to understand about Him and His Sublime Exalted Nature because He has negated any imperfection any similitude with anyone or anything in any way shape or form whether in His Being, Names, Attributes, Action, Attitude or Behavior, in other clearcut fixed unambiguous verses. Though He affirms for Himself Sight, Hearing, Speech, Knowledge, Life, and Self-Existence and Subsistence, Will and Command over all.

Jews from Kyber Madina never argue Muhammad SAW about this verse about prophet Isra AS
Jewish people held belief in the Messiah though they wanted a Messiah that would free them from persecution by their enemies, Jesus claimed he was the Messiah but came to save everyone from their sins.

"O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."
I saw a video on Apostate prophet where he is attacking this verse that Allah or the author of Quran got confused between Miriam sister of Aaron and Moses, and the Virgin Mary, and that Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) read the Bible before hand but got confused between the Miriam sister of Aaron and the virgin Mary and what NOT
I would like listen to your take on this verse for I see you're a man of thorough research!
God honored Adam Noah and family of Abraham (Ishmael Issac Jacob and the twelve tribes)and family of Imran (Moses and Jesus) so the lineage as explained fro Quran.
I don't know but if the quran really confuses the two mary's then why doesn't it say *o sister of moses* ?
@sammy mohammad i believe you have misunderstood what i said.
Enjoying every bit of your content paul .
Idris a.s. was taken upto the 4th heaven and his soul was taken by Malak ul Maut at the 4th heaven as per the islamic traditions, so it may just be , as this text claims, but the corruption of the jewish text usually makes matters complicated and deviated from the truth.
But the Quran explains Idris a.s and Uzair a.s. separately, so ......! ALLAH U AALAM

@@BloggingTheology Ascension of Jesus is just like repeating the same old stories of Enoch, Ezra, Baruch, Elijah whom were raised to heaven alive.
@@ahlalfiqh good point
@@BloggingTheology Ahmadi Muslims hold the unique belief that Jesus (peace be upon him) survived the crucifixion and travelled towards India to continue his ministry among the Lost Tribes of Israel. Furthermore, they claim that his tomb, containing his body, has been recently re-discovered in India where it can be seen to this day. Ahmadi Muslims also assert that this belief is not only upheld by the Holy Quran and the Sayings of Muhammad (sa), but even by the Holy Bible itself.
Its quite amusing to hear the Jews act all innocent when Izra is mentioned claiming that they don't even know such a man.
This Quran doesn't leave a stone unturned, exposing either that liar or that forger. Seems God doesn't take kindly to the corruption to his scripture.
Also it sounds like the Rabbinic Jews went & added the worship of the two angels sent as an incitement & a test to Babylon.
That explains the disruptive magic they learned from them or their legacy. That form of magic taught how to put curses on ppl & disrupt their lives.
False instruments of empowerment that led many desperate humans to vile sorcery & employment of Jinn.
Its entirely possible that a scholarly faction of the exiled Jews in Babylon, impatient with the trial of exile, reached for this as a way out of their humiliation.
The next step would be to convince their ppl which would entail the addition of angelic personalities to divine script leading to a reverence of them as demigods.
That must have led to a division among the Jews into Karaite, Rabbinic etc. Those who stuck to original scripture repented & stood firm & the others who splintered off.
The oral law being a narration was an exceedingly fertile ground for such addition.
And with such lack of shame among their clergy who knows what they did to original text as well
Uzair also Ezekiel story in Quran chapter two Al Bakara after the story of David .The fall of David and Solomon king doom the Jews were taken slave to Babylon among them was Uzair or Ezekiel. According to Jews Ezekiel saw a dream the second comming of Jews after the first fall and known as the Ezekiel prophecies. Uzair was going back to Jerusalem to re write the Torah after five years at that time the Jerusalem was not rebuilt so God made him dead for hundred year and woken him up .Ezekiel than re wrote the Torah and his prophecies including 38 the destroying of six Muslim Nations to prevent the second Babylon which has been fully implemented.
Aaaaw so thats why they call themselves eezraeelis and not issra ilis. Sound of zzz is for Ezra .

11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
