Just to correct “all muslims believe that we are all children of god” 2:04. Is not correct. Muslims believe that all humans are Allah’s creation. “He (Allah) neither begets nor is born and Nor is there to Him any equivalent." Quran [112:3,4]

@@imperfect_subject The Christian perspective is literal, which is also Pagan. I don't agree with that. I don't see why it can't be said figuratively, in a sense that is basically synonymous with Servant of God. The idea is that one's piety and devotion can be so perfect, they are essentially adopted as a child of God. Even the Jews used the phrase in this context. David, Solomon, Enoch, & many others were called Sons of God in this context. Jesus also used it in this way, which is why he reminds the Pharisees of what their scripture says. Trinitarian Christians have simply misinterpreted it.
😂😂Bible says Jesus was the SERVANT of God . Lmao Mathew 12 : 15 But Jesus knew what they were planning. So he left that area, and many people followed him. He healed all the sick among them, 16 but he warned them not to reveal who he was. 17 This fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah concerning him: 18 “Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen. He is my Beloved, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations 😂😂😂😂
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 [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?Quran 9:30.They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah, and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him. Quran 9:31
It's not Prophet Mohamed that condemns them, but it's Allah that condemns them. Say what Muslims believe that the Quran is not from Prophet's innovation.
In the Syriac text of 4 Ezra 14:48 (and the versions that derive from it) there is a brief account of the ascent and apotheosis of Ezra which is missing in the Latin of 2 Esdras.

@@joescott123 I don't think Rabbi Tovia would agree your attitude. Islam call to come to a common understanding. Your ideas are a result of delusions posed by western colonizers (the same people who persecuted Jews in Europe for centuries). See what quran calls (from translation): "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." We Muslims believe in the God of Moses. I call Allah, you may call a different name. We can still agree there is only One God. I don't see a reason for you to be against us Muslims.

@@hegagi839 For your information my dear (undoubtedly) Christian friend, there was a small sect of Jews who deified Ezra, in ways similar to how you Christians deify the son of Mary/Miriam/Maryam. That’s why some Jews (Teimanim) refuse to utter the name Ezra or to even name their children as such because they think it’s a divine name similar to how Orthodox Jews do not utter the exalted name of God (The Tetragrammaton: YHWH). This is not new. Plus, Jews have had others in their past who erred by deifying leaders they admired, including the Shabse Tzvi (who was a Kabbalist from Turkey). Even in modern times a few adherents of Hasidism have elevated their Rabbis a bit too much. Don’t listen to anti-islamist bigots and cunning Christian missionaries who desperately try to malign Islam in order to: 1. Spread the hatred of Islam and Muslims. 2. Try to convert Jews and Muslims and have them doubt their faiths. 3. Gather followers and make their channels grow for personal gain.
Rabbinic (Orthodox or Pharisees) Judaism does consider both Enoch (Metatron) and Ezrah as children of God and gives them some of His unique attributes, that's why it has been heavily criticized by Qaraimic Judaism.
There is a concept of "Lesser Yahwe" or "Metatron" which Jews consider Divine in Greko-Roman sense. Quran is reffering to that. Metatron forms one of the traces for the presence of dualist proclivities in the otherwise monotheistic visions of both the Tanakh and later Christian doctrine. From wiki: From Hellenistic times, mention of a second divine figure, either beside YHWH or beneath him, occur in a number of Jewish texts, mostly apocryphal. These Jewish traditions implying a divine dualism were most frequently associated with Enoch. In the rabbinic period they centre on 'Metatron', often in the context of debates over the heretical doctrine of 'two powers in heaven' (shtei rashunot ba-shammayim).[6][2] Ultimately these ideas appear to go back to differing interpretations of the heavenly enthronement passages at Exodus 24:10f., Daniel 7:9f. and perhaps even Ezekiel 1:26f.[7] interpretations that came to distinguish what was orthodox from what was heretical in Judaism.

Rabbi! is it true that the early Israelites were only allowed to poop while standing? I've also heard Jews used to commit suicide by crawling into a dead elephants anus and then eventually die from lack of oxygen. Is this true Rabbi?
Thank you. Now, I know something I did no know before. Further, as a Muslim, I appreciate your interpretation of MY QURAN. I have cross checked your statement with some of the most ancient interpretations of that verse in the Quran. You are spot on. Finally, I salute you for the respect with which you talk and debate.
This verse in the Quran if referring to a small sect that believed Ezra was the son of God does not mean they believed Ezra was divine or God in flesh. Christians do believe that Jesus is God in flesh and the title Son of God has a different meaning to Christians. Therefore to compare the tiny sect of Jews who believed Ezra was the son of God with the Christians is completely ridiculous. God would not make such a mistake only man.
The Quran never specifies a part of a group, like if I was to do something which is wrong and my family or may nappers never stops me Allah will condom all the people around me. similarly Allah is condoming all the jews who didn't stop him, also they wears some Christians that did not believe that Jesus was son of god but god also adds them in this verse with the other childrens. The Quran says also there is people that worship Jesus and marry bisite God but we all know a lot of Christians don't worship marry and will also claim that they worship God the father. The fact that some Christians worship either the father or the son or marry Allah adds them all together. A lot of people claim this verse is talking about trinity, it is not it is talking about people who worship Jesus and marry bisite God. When the Quran mentioned the trinity it says do not say god is the third in three because it refutes the Christians and who ever is going to say god is "one in three or god is the third in three" by mentioning another two it refutes them also Allah is the most knowing the most wise, and answers a lot of questions in few words. سبحانك يا رب

Sorry but the commentators didn't "make up stuff brilliantly". You are clearly being biased towards Islam to the point where I'm almost convinced that you ARE Muslim. You can't say that a tiny sect or even ONE person who believed that Ezra was the Son of God deserved to be mentioned in a book that was supposed to be a world religion. This is a very clear MISTAKE and if this was in the Gospels you would tear shreds off Christians which is why I can't take you seriously as a Rabbi.
(uzair is the Ezra the scribe in Arabic ) and the Targum reads, “by the hand of my angel, whose name is called Ezra the scribe. The Targum of Jonathan ben-Uzziel, on the words “by the hand of Malachi” (1:1), gives the gloss “whose name is called Ezra the scribe.” With equal probability Malachi has been identified with Mordecai, Nehemiah, and Zerubbabel. The Sept., as above noted renders “by Malachi” (Mal 1:1), “by the hand of his angel;” and this translation appears to have given rise to the idea that Malachi, as well as Haggai and John the Baptist, was an angel in human shape (comp. Mal 3:1; *In Judaism they calls angels the sons of God* ...°•○
You worked way too hard on differentiating the usages of "son of God." You could've saved a lot of time by just saying one is meant literally, and the other is meant metaphorically.
When you link both in the same verse, clearly Mohammad meant both were literally the Son of God which is a lie. God is not confused between what is literal or not. Mohammad clearly was.
Rabbinic (Orthodox or Pharisees) Judaism does consider both Enoch (Metatron) and Ezrah as children of God and gives them some of His unique attributes, that's why it has been heavily criticized by Qaraimic Judaism (Essens).
Sorry, but this is nonsensical. Enoch ascended to Heaven and became an angel. Ezra didn't. But there is zero tradition whatsoever behind either being the "son of G-d" or having some of His unique Attributes.
I was always curious about Uzayr (Ezra) and claims in Islamic sources that Jews take him as a son of God, knowing full well that Jews are strict monotheists. Thank you for your respected opinion.
It happens in the past not the jew nowadays... Qur'an speaks about the jewish and previous story of some prophet and their people.. so of course it is happening in the past... Don't know about now if there are still some jews who do that.. probably none or probably still some there.. not sure ..
It shouldn't say "the Jews say". It should say "SOME Jews say". It doesn't though and by linking Ezra with Jesus it is implying that the Jews believed that Ezra was not just the "son of God" as a title but rather the actual Son of God. This is where the Quran falls down in its claim as the perfect word of God. There are plenty more but this one is clear
@@mattpowell6291 i don’t know if English is your first language, but it’s not abnormal to use “the jews” to mean a specific group. It does not have to mean EVERY SINGLE Jew. When people say, “The Romans” built roads, they don’t mean every single Roman. The same is similar for the word “You” it does not always imply a single object. For example, TWO children walk into class late, the professor says “why are YOU late?” when addressing THEM ALTOGETHER. Imagine i write about this example further in the following manner… “upon hearing THEIR response”, (despite ONLY ONE child speaking) the professor says, “YOU sit here and YOU sit there, don’t ever be late to my lessons again!” …in this second usage the “you” is specific to the individuals. Hope this makes sense.
@@shefhenko I think I understand so when Allah/Mohammad says "THE JEWS" he meant only a small group that doesn't exist anymore and when Allah/Mohammad says "THE CHRISTIANS" he meant basically the entire population of Christians as it's their CORE BELIEF. Yes thanks for opening my eyes...
At the time of the prophet, some Jewish believers believed that Uzair was the son of God, just as some Christians saw Jesus only as a prophet. If only Uzair was seen by the majority of Jews as the son of God, the Qur'an would have said that you should not see Uzair as the son of God, just as the Qur'an swears that Jesus is not the son of God.
Shia muslims believe Muhammad is noor and not normal human being where as sunni and wahabi believe Muhammad is normal human being,does that make the basis of judging whole Muslim umma , absolutely not like that if some jews believe in history that Ezra was son of God that doesn't apply to whole Jewish community and if some jews said in history that Ezra is son of God that doesn't mean they said that in same sense as Christians say about jesus!
Whoever says that God (سبحانه و تعالى) literally has offspring is a disbeliever and polytheist. Attributing to God a son is likening Him to His creation.
So when the Christians say that Jesus is the son of God, they meant it. But when the Jews say that Ezra is the Son of God, they do not believe it? Or could it be this easy, Tovia, that Muhammad got it wrong? would not be his first time. This man would defend islam no matter what it said...
The explanation is just ridiculous by Tovia. Even if a tiny sect of Jews believed that Ezra was a figurative "son of God", this is different compared to the entire Christian population believing Jesus is the Son of God or God in flesh. You can't compare the two and God wouldn't link the two statements together. Only Mohammad would say such ridiculous things.

The same surah(verse) explains that they say the word "Son of God" in order to compete with the pagens before, meaning the greco-roman gods, but it's not from God. Their is a hadith about not denying that. And thanks for your respectable explanation.
Gn 49:10-12: "No será quitado el cetro de Judá, ni el legislador de entre sus pies, hasta que venga Silo; y a él se congregarán los pueblos. Atando a la vid su pollino, y a la cepa el hijo de su asna, lavó en el vino su vestidura, y en la sangre de uvas su manto: Sus ojos rojos del vino, y los dientes blancos de la leche."
Actually there is a research on this ayat that describes a background of that ayat: on the south of arab peninsula in area of modern Yemen there had been a tribe that was following judaism and considered Esdra as a son if the God.

@@donhue4546 "In February 624, when the qibla (direction of prayer) changed from Jerusalem to Mecca. Sallam ibn Mishkam, a Jew who lived in Medina and his friends asked Muhammad[peace be upon him]: “How can we follow you when you have abandoned our qibla and you do not allege that Uzair (Ezra) is the son of God?”. This verse is situated in a context of theological disputes with the Jewish community of Medina. The Quran emphasizes the absolute divinity of God and warns against associating any being with Him. It further condemns Jewish and Christian leaders of the time for deceiving the masses into taking "their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of God". In casting doubt on claims about the divine status of Uzayr and Christ, the Quran also instructs Muslims to reject such beliefs. These arguments reflect the tensions between the Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities of Arabia"
Good explanation from the Rabbi! A point of clarification: Ezra ("Uzair") is not considered a prophet in the Quran or the canonical sources. Some Muslim scholars probably did express the opinion that he was, but the evidence is far too ambiguous to attribute this view to Islamic tradition as a whole. He is certainly not called a prophet in the Quran, or in any of the canonical traditions accepted as sound (such as those in Bukhari or Muslim). Nor does the Islamic tradition give any clear grounds for denying that Ezra was a prophet; the issue is left open, as with many other figures.
That's irrelevant as the claim is that the Jews in general believe that Ezra is the Son of God like the Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God. This is obviously false and if Mohammad meant a tiny sect of Jews he would've said SOME Jews. It doesn't and it's supposed to be the perfect word of God. Very obvious error
@@mattpowell6291if you think mohamed was this stupid you are so damn wrong lmao the man knows major details about Judaism and he wouldn’t make such a blatant mistake.

Clearly he believed that all Jews thought that Ezra was the Son of God which is so funny and inaccurate. The Christians believed that Jesus was the Son of God as God in flesh. This is a completely different meaning to Ezra being a son of God. Of course that tiny sect of Jews didn't believe Ezra was God as a human. More proof that Mohammad had no idea what he was saying and that it's an error.

Ezra wrote the Jewish book after he returned to Al Qudis, he was referred in the Jewish text as an Angel and at that time period Angels where thought to be as sons of God. I may dare say that rabies think of Ezra as the second most important prophet after Mousa (pace apon him). He took several texts and put them in one book. Laws where changed or modified to his understanding, as a result the laws are not the same that God intended to the Jews. Changing laws is only for Allah , when you change a single thing you are taking Allah's role and in that scene you worship who changed the text or laws. This is my understanding.
The Quran commentary for that verse says that some Jews were saying Ezra is son of god. Also islam is against calling any prophet son of god. This verse doesn’t say that Jews were believing Ezra is divine.
Ezra or Uzair in Arabic . As you said the Quran mentioned him in chapter 9 verse 30. But also Mr Rabbi, his story is mentioned in Al Baqara chapter 2 verse259 ." Or of him who, when passing by a town the rooftop which had caved in, exclaimed, 'how will God restore it to life after its destruction?' Thereupon God caused him to die, and after a hundred years, brought him back to life. God asked, ' How long have you remained in this state?' He answered, ' I have remained a day or part of a day. ' God said, ' No, you have remained in this state for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink; they have not rotted. Look at your ass. We will make you a sign to mankind. Look at the bones _ how We set them together, then clothe them with flesh!' When it had all become clear to him, he said, ' Now I know that God has power over all things. ' So Ezra was passing by Jerusalem riding his donkey carrying little food and the rest of the story as mentioned in the Noble Quran above.
The New Testament was originally written in Greek. It makes sense now why later Christians mistook Jesus AS as the literal 'son of God'. The Romans who were originally polytheists also greatly influenced post-crucifixion Christianity. This is basically an ancient example of "lost in translation".
It makes no sense that you ignore the fact that this verse is a clear error in the Quran. No Jew believed that Ezra was the ACTUAL Son of God therefore this is an error. Christians believe that Jesus IS the ACTUAL Son of God so linking the two makes no sense. God doesn't make mistakes but Mohammad does

There were Jews in Medina at that time who believed that Uzair (Ezra) (عليه السلام) was literally the “Son of God”. Not all Jews believed that, just that group.
No they didn't. If they believed this then they wouldn't be Jews. Thos is why Jesus was rejected by some of the Jews. They may have thought that Ezra was an important person of God and a "son of God" but this is different to the entire Christian population believing that Jesus is God in flesh or the Son of God. God wouldn't compare the two, only Mohammad would which makes the Quran invalid

Sahih Muslim 183 a Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: Some people during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Messenger of Allah! shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Yes, and added: Do you feel any trouble in seeing the sun at noon with no cloud over it, and do you feel trouble in seeing the moon (open) in the full moonlit night with no cloud over it? They said: No, Messenger of Allah! He (the Holy Prophet) said: You will not feel any trouble in seeing Allah on the Day of Resurrection any more than you do in seeing any one of them. When the Day of Resurrection comes a Mu'adhdhin (a proclaimer) would proclaim: Let every people follow what they used to worship. Then all who worshipped idols and stones besides Allah would fall into the Fire, till only the righteous and the vicious and some of the people of the Book who worshipped Allah are left. Then the Jews would be summoned, and it would be said to them: What did you worship? They will say: We worshipped 'Uzair, son of Allah. It would be said to them: You tell a lie; Allah had never had a spouse or a son. What do you want now? They would say: We feel thirsty, O our Lord! Quench our thirst. They would be directed (to a certain direction) and asked: Why don't you go there to drink water? Then they would be pushed towards the Fire (and they would find to their great dismay that) it was but a mirage (and the raging flames of fire) would be consuming one another, and they would fall into the Fire.

Salam /shaloom brother, I remember reading that Allah said that some jews/Christians did evil things( daily matters) if it was not their Leaders(rabbis....) who stopped them , they would have become transgressors. that 's because their Leaders feared Allah as it was supposed to be feared and spoke the truth, so here we see a good example of a Rabbi who is responsible, fair and knowledgeable unlike some Christians who claim to know the truth, who would use any passage where it is not clear to attack Islam or others. Hence why I admire your honesty. Bless you and May God almighty guide you and guide all your followers to the truth. Amen. I think that jew or jews who believed so saw the miracle of Prophet Ezra Peace and blessing upon him and assumed he had to be the son of the Almighty since he was given everything he needed to re-establish temple worship in Jerusalem, including sacrifices of atonement. The covenant community would resume covenant worship of their covenant God in the covenant city.. but we all know that the moment you compare Almighty God to any of his creation, you have then committed a huge and grave sin
The Jews didn't believe in a son of God so there is NO WAY that a tiny sect of Jews would've believed that Ezra was God in flesh. The entire population of Christians on the other hand did believe that Jesus is God in flesh which is why the two statements connected together makes no sense. God wouldn't make these statements and link them together. Only Mohammad would do such a thing
Like how it was answered and addressed but a misinformation slipped through, no Muslim would ever consider himself to be a child of God not even in the Jewish comprehension and use of this expression. The Quran actually rebuked both Jews and Christians for using and believing that in chapter 5 verse 18. Another mistake that a well versed person like the rabbi shouldn't fall into is implying that the Quran was the work or word of prophet Muhammed! Muslims believe it to be the word of GOD.

Much respect to rabbi tovia, from what i understand, quran described group of jews in specific times, in the context of giving lessons, the part about ezra the scribe is because some jews did saw ezra as a great person who lead a revolution and was a great leader, so they exaggerated with the description that he is the son of god
In islamic tradition it is wrong to say a son of good in any sense, so probably that verse condemns everybody who says son of god, according to islam everything is a creation and a slave. There are also a lot of other intriguing interpretations of this verse
That seems very weak and cowardice. The Quran contains heaps of biblical stories retold completely differently and he never criticizes it. Yet if one word in the Gospels is slightly different compared to the Tanakh, he loses his mind.
There is no general concept of sonship in Islam. Allah is father to none. People are either slaves of Allah or in rebellion. There is no Judaic reference to a belief in 'Uzair' being the Son of G_d. Muhammad is not renowned as a teacher of comparative religions. He even presented the Christian Trinity as Father, Son and Mother. A deeper study of Muhammad and his claims will cast a different light on this issue. Bless you, Rabbi.
Just because some Shiites whip themselves, does it make sense to generalize and say "Muslims whip themselves”? That’s what the Quran is doing vis a vis the Jews.
At the 6th hour of the 6th day of the 6th month of the year 2026, all the souls of the living and dead will stand in judgement IT IS FINAL JUDGEMENT DAY.
I think it was an actual heretical sect of Judaism that existed then. Maybe they were influenced by Christianity and wanted their own version of the trinitarian Jesus. Makes sense.
روى مسلم في (صحيحه) عن أبي سعيد الخدري، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ((إذا كان يوم القيامة أذن مؤذن: لتتبع كل أمة ما كانت تعبد، فلا يبقى أحد كان يعبد غير الله سبحانه من الأصنام والأنصاب إلا يتساقطون في النار، حتى إذا لم يبق إلا من كان يعبد الله من بر وفاجر، وغبر أهل الكتاب. فيدعى اليهود، فيقال لهم: ما كنتم تعبدون؟ قالوا: كنا نعبد عزير ابن الله. فيقال: كذبتم ما اتخذ الله من صاحبة ولا ولد. فماذا تبغون؟ قالوا: عطشنا يا ربنا، فاسقنا. فيشار إليهم: ألا تردون؟ فيحشرون إلى النار كأنها سراب يحطم بعضها بعضاً، فيتساقطون في النار. ثم يدعى النصارى، فيقال لهم: ما كنتم تعبدون؟ قالوا: كنا نعبد المسيح ابن الله، فيقال لهم: كذبتم، ما اتخذ الله من صاحبة ولا ولد، فيقال لهم: ما تبغون؟ فيقولون: عطشنا، يا ربنا فاسقنا، قال: فيشار إليهم: ألا تردون؟ فيحشرون إلى جهنم كأنهم سراب، يحطم بعضها بعضاً، فيتساقطون في النار. حتى إذا لم يبق إلا من كان يعبد الله من بر وفاجر، أتاهم رب العالمين سبحانه وتعالى في أدنى صورة من التي رأوه فيها، قال: فماذا تنتظرون؟ تتبع كل أمة ما كانت تعبد. قالوا: يا ربنا، فارقنا الناس في الدنيا أفقر ما كنا إليهم، ولم نصاحبهم، فيقول: أنا ربكم، فيقولون: نعوذ بالله منك، لا نشرك بالله شيئاً (مرتين أو ثلاثاً) حتى إن بعضهم ليكاد أن ينقلب. فيقول: هل بينكم وبينه آية فتعرفونه بها؟ فيقولون: نعم، فيكشف عن ساق، فلا يبقى من كان يسجد لله من تلقاء نفسه إلا أذن الله له بالسجود، ولا يبقى من كان يسجد اتقاءً ورياءً إلا جعل الله ظهره طبقة واحدة كلما أراد أن يسجد خرَّ على قفاه، ثم يرفعون رؤوسهم، وقد تحول في صورته التي رأوه فيها أول مرة، فقال: أنا ربكم، فيقولون: أنت ربنا. ثم يضرب الجسر على جهنم، وتحل الشفاعة، ويقولون: اللهم سلم سلم. قيل: يا رسول الله، وما الجسر؟ قال: دحض مزلة، فيه خطاطيف وكلاليب وحسك، تكون بنجد فيها شويكة يقال لها: السعدان، فيمر المؤمنون كطرف العين، وكالبرق وكالريح وكالطير وكأجاويد الخيل والركاب، فناج مسلم، ومخدوش مرسل، ومكدوس في نار جهنم)) (1) . وروى مسلم أيضاً عن أبي هريرة في وصف المرور على الصراط، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((وترسل الأمانة والرحم، فتقومان على جنبتي الصراط يميناً وشمالاً، فيمر أولكم كالبرق، قال: قلت: بأبي أنت وأمي، أي شيء كالبرق؟ قال: ألم تروا إلى البرق كيف يمرُّ ويرجع في طرفة عين؟ ثم كمرّ الريح، ثم كمرِّ الطير وشدِّ الرجال، تجري بهم أعمالهم، ونبيكم قائم على الصراط يقول: رب، سلم سلم. حتى تعجز أعمال العباد، حتى يجيء الرجل فلا يستطيع السير إلا زحفاً، قال: وعلى حافتي الصراط كلاليب معلقة مأمورة بأخذ من أمرت به. فمخدوش ناج، ومكدوس في النار))
I wonder if it could be a reference to Philo, a Hellenic-Jewish philosopher from Alexandria who was big on combining Judaism with Platonic Metaphysics? For what it's worth he didn't have a good opinion of the Rabbis and was allegedly related to the Priests, which sounds like he could have been a Sadducee.
as a shia muslim...in my 40s....have never heard the phrase children of god ever by any scholar....or read phrase children of god in any book referring to humans...in shia islamic tradition all human being when born are equal human beings when they grow up the ones who are pious and wise become better than the ones who are not pious.....children of god is a biblical phrase we as muslims dont use it in any sense....human beings are reffered to as AHSAN E TAQWEEM meaning one of the best creation...
In Surah 9:30 we read that “the Jews” say that Ezra (actually Uzair in Arabic who is not known in the Jewish literature) is the Son of God the Christians say that the Jesus is the Son of God. “the Jews” implies all of the Jews, yet there are no Jews known who ever made this claim. And even if there was some obscure Jewish sect that said that Ezra is the Son of God, the verse is still false as “the Jews” ie all of them never said this.
No human has the account of the whole history in his hands. We just rely on whatever script we may by chance find in sand or ashes Only God knows the true history.
its plain to see the quran lied,allah does not have a son there for all claims are void, why did this rabi go off topic it was about ezra and he saying allah has children,lmfao
Metatron was the object of worship of many medieval jews. This ayah is taking the side of orthodox jews vs Metatron worshippers. This is even written by westerners and Jewish academics.
I think I can prove that it refers to some Jews not All since the Quran tells us That christians will say Jesus is the son of god but the Quran also tells us in the early days of christianity they used to believe in one god .
Wow Rabi Tovia- I heard your explanation- and the way you professionally handled this - makes me think You might be from amongst the True Truth seekers of God - amongst the small group of people who carry the Jewish label and the protection of God. This protection i believe is not afforded to the vast majority of others who hold the same label but dont seem to seek Truth. (same is true of the larger group of labeled Muslims and Labeled Christians- who are also mostly lost- except for a select few in their respective labels). I have enormous respect for you and it makes me want to learn about Moses the Great Prophet of God during that time in History
sura Al-Taubah . The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of lord "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of lord ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May lord destroy them; how are they deluded? , 31They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides lord, and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him. The Lord sent all the apostles with one message: the unification of the worship of the Lord who established the first and the last. He is the Lord who deserves worship. He created Adam and created the universe And create life.
Most likely the Late Classical Jews of Yathrib and other villages in northwest Arabia, who he was directly confronting prayed to Ezra. Some kabbalistic Jews similarly fell into worshipping Enoch. The Old Testament is full of Israelites turning to other Gods and making partners for Hashem and then Prophets leading them back to the religion. These things happen. The Muslims believe the Ishmaelites were initially Monotheists but over time became Polytheists by venerating the idols of other nations. Just look at Greek mythology. Every Greek city believes in their version of Theos, or Zeus, the God. They are also worshipping lesser Daemones, Spirits, Jinn, etc. Then as they share their stories with each other you end up with the complex mythology. So Athens worshipped its patron Athena and Thebes worshipped Hercules, and these legends spread and mixed and became the stories that have survived to the present. Then later Greek philosophers tried to return to a more rational monotheism.
Gordon Darnell Newby has suggested that the Quranic expression may have reflected Ezra's possible designation as one of the Bene Elohim (lit. sons of God) by Jews of the Hejaz. G. D. Newby, A History Of The Jews Of Arabia, 1988, University Of South Carolina Press, p. 59
Porque ya no hay profetas nii Rey en la tierra de Israel ??? Porque esta escrito enn la profecia de que hasta que venga el Messias, Israel siempre tendria Rey y profetas, y quien cumplio esa profecia?? Jesus ya que el ultimo profeta en la tierra de Israel que profetizo acerca del messias fue Juan el bautista. Gn 49:10-12: "No será quitado el cetro de Judá, ni el legislador de entre sus pies, hasta que venga Silo; y a él se congregarán los pueblos. Atando a la vid su pollino, y a la cepa el hijo de su asna, lavó en el vino su vestidura, y en la sangre de uvas su manto: Sus ojos rojos del vino, y los dientes blancos de la leche."
Ezra? Is this “Uzair” we are speaking about? That is not reffering to any prophet, Uzair is Arabic version of Osiris.. some of Israelites in the time of Moses (pbuh) followed Egyptian myths (Osiris). Uzair is not Ezra, its Osiris. Osiris original name is “OSIR”, the “is” in the end is added later by the greeks.
A recent commentator suggested that Uzayr is actually Osiris and not Ezra the Prophet/Scribe. And the Jews when they were in Egypt took Osiris the same position as the Christians took Jesus Christ. Another commentator says that Uzayr is translated also as the Messiah, but the Jewish Messiah is David. So the three candidates are: 1) Ezra/Esdras the Prophet/Scribe (there were a minority of Jews worshipping him at the time of the Prophet, as narrated by Ibn Abbas) 2) Osiris the Egyptian God of Fertility (related to Hathor, the Golden Calf, Sirius etc.) 3) David the Prophet/King (needs evidence) And other candidates too such as Azariah. These are only opinions, whoever Uzayr really is doesn't matter. What matters is that *there were some (minority of) Jews who took Uzayr (whoever he may be) as the Son of God,* which is condemned in Islam and in Orthodox Judaism.
Just to correct “all muslims believe that we are all children of god” 2:04. Is not correct. Muslims believe that all humans are Allah’s creation. “He (Allah) neither begets nor is born and Nor is there to Him any equivalent." Quran [112:3,4]

Even the Jews used the phrase in this context. David, Solomon, Enoch, & many others were called Sons of God in this context. Jesus also used it in this way, which is why he reminds the Pharisees of what their scripture says.

It's not Prophet Mohamed that condemns them, but it's Allah that condemns them. Say what Muslims believe that the Quran is not from Prophet's innovation.

But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." We Muslims believe in the God of Moses. I call Allah, you may call a different name.

@@hegagi839 For your information my dear (undoubtedly) Christian friend, there was a small sect of Jews who deified Ezra, in ways similar to how you Christians deify the son of Mary/Miriam/Maryam. That’s why some Jews (Teimanim) refuse to utter the name Ezra or to even name their children as such because they think it’s a divine name similar to how Orthodox Jews do not utter the exalted name of God (The Tetragrammaton: YHWH). This is not new. Plus, Jews have had others in their past who erred by deifying leaders they admired, including the Shabse Tzvi (who was a Kabbalist from Turkey). Even in modern times a few adherents of Hasidism have elevated their Rabbis a bit too much.
Don’t listen to anti-islamist bigots and cunning Christian missionaries who desperately try to malign Islam in order to:
1. Spread the hatred of Islam and Muslims.
2. Try to convert Jews and Muslims and have them doubt their faiths.
3. Gather followers and make their channels grow for personal gain.
Rabbinic (Orthodox or Pharisees) Judaism does consider both Enoch (Metatron) and Ezrah as children of God and gives them some of His unique attributes, that's why it has been heavily criticized by Qaraimic Judaism.
@Zee K Reading comprehension is fundamental
Love what you do. God bless you.
There is a concept of "Lesser Yahwe" or "Metatron" which Jews consider Divine in Greko-Roman sense. Quran is reffering to that. Metatron forms one of the traces for the presence of dualist proclivities in the otherwise monotheistic visions of both the Tanakh and later Christian doctrine.
From wiki:
From Hellenistic times, mention of a second divine figure, either beside YHWH or beneath him, occur in a number of Jewish texts, mostly apocryphal. These Jewish traditions implying a divine dualism were most frequently associated with Enoch. In the rabbinic period they centre on 'Metatron', often in the context of debates over the heretical doctrine of 'two powers in heaven' (shtei rashunot ba-shammayim).[6][2] Ultimately these ideas appear to go back to differing interpretations of the heavenly enthronement passages at Exodus 24:10f., Daniel 7:9f. and perhaps even Ezekiel 1:26f.[7] interpretations that came to distinguish what was orthodox from what was heretical in Judaism.

I have cross checked your statement with some of the most ancient interpretations of that verse in the Quran. You are spot on. Finally, I salute you for the respect with which you talk and debate.
This verse in the Quran if referring to a small sect that believed Ezra was the son of God does not mean they believed Ezra was divine or God in flesh. Christians do believe that Jesus is God in flesh and the title Son of God has a different meaning to Christians. Therefore to compare the tiny sect of Jews who believed Ezra was the son of God with the Christians is completely ridiculous. God would not make such a mistake only man.
Would love to hear the whole song at the end on some of your new videos.

The Quran never specifies a part of a group, like if I was to do something which is wrong and my family or may nappers never stops me Allah will condom all the people around me. similarly Allah is condoming all the jews who didn't stop him, also they wears some Christians that did not believe that Jesus was son of god but god also adds them in this verse with the other childrens.
The Quran says also there is people that worship Jesus and marry bisite God but we all know a lot of Christians don't worship marry and will also claim that they worship God the father. The fact that some Christians worship either the father or the son or marry Allah adds them all together. A lot of people claim this verse is talking about trinity, it is not it is talking about people who worship Jesus and marry bisite God. When the Quran mentioned the trinity it says do not say god is the third in three because it refutes the Christians and who ever is going to say god is "one in three or god is the third in three" by mentioning another two it refutes them also
Allah is the most knowing the most wise, and answers a lot of questions in few words.

Sorry but the commentators didn't "make up stuff brilliantly". You are clearly being biased towards Islam to the point where I'm almost convinced that you ARE Muslim. You can't say that a tiny sect or even ONE person who believed that Ezra was the Son of God deserved to be mentioned in a book that was supposed to be a world religion. This is a very clear MISTAKE and if this was in the Gospels you would tear shreds off Christians which is why I can't take you seriously as a Rabbi.
(uzair is the Ezra the scribe in Arabic )
and the Targum reads, “by the hand of my angel, whose name is called Ezra the scribe.
The Targum of Jonathan ben-Uzziel, on the words “by the hand of Malachi” (1:1), gives the gloss “whose name is called Ezra the scribe.” With equal probability Malachi has been identified with Mordecai, Nehemiah, and Zerubbabel. The Sept., as above noted renders “by Malachi” (Mal 1:1), “by the hand of his angel;” and this translation appears to have given rise to the idea that Malachi, as well as Haggai and John the Baptist, was an angel in human shape (comp. Mal 3:1;
*In Judaism they calls angels the sons of God*

You worked way too hard on differentiating the usages of "son of God." You could've saved a lot of time by just saying one is meant literally, and the other is meant metaphorically.
uP
When you link both in the same verse, clearly Mohammad meant both were literally the Son of God which is a lie. God is not confused between what is literal or not. Mohammad clearly was.
What is the outro song. It sounds beautiful
Rabbinic (Orthodox or Pharisees) Judaism does consider both Enoch (Metatron) and Ezrah as children of God and gives them some of His unique attributes, that's why it has been heavily criticized by Qaraimic Judaism (Essens).
Sorry, but this is nonsensical. Enoch ascended to Heaven and became an angel. Ezra didn't. But there is zero tradition whatsoever behind either being the "son of G-d" or having some of His unique Attributes.
I was always curious about Uzayr (Ezra) and claims in Islamic sources that Jews take him as a son of God, knowing full well that Jews are strict monotheists. Thank you for your respected opinion.
It happens in the past not the jew nowadays... Qur'an speaks about the jewish and previous story of some prophet and their people.. so of course it is happening in the past... Don't know about now if there are still some jews who do that.. probably none or probably still some there.. not sure ..
How can any one know? Maybe a group of jews that time said that
It shouldn't say "the Jews say". It should say "SOME Jews say". It doesn't though and by linking Ezra with Jesus it is implying that the Jews believed that Ezra was not just the "son of God" as a title but rather the actual Son of God. This is where the Quran falls down in its claim as the perfect word of God. There are plenty more but this one is clear
@@mattpowell6291 i don’t know if English is your first language, but it’s not abnormal to use “the jews” to mean a specific group. It does not have to mean EVERY SINGLE Jew.
When people say, “The Romans” built roads, they don’t mean every single Roman.
The same is similar for the word “You” it does not always imply a single object. For example, TWO children walk into class late, the professor says “why are YOU late?” when addressing THEM ALTOGETHER.
Imagine i write about this example further in the following manner…
“upon hearing THEIR response”, (despite ONLY ONE child speaking) the professor says, “YOU sit here and YOU sit there, don’t ever be late to my lessons again!” …in this second usage the “you” is specific to the individuals.
Hope this makes sense.
@@shefhenko I think I understand so when Allah/Mohammad says "THE JEWS" he meant only a small group that doesn't exist anymore and when Allah/Mohammad says "THE CHRISTIANS" he meant basically the entire population of Christians as it's their CORE BELIEF. Yes thanks for opening my eyes...
At the time of the prophet, some Jewish believers believed that Uzair was the son of God, just as some Christians saw Jesus only as a prophet. If only Uzair was seen by the majority of Jews as the son of God, the Qur'an would have said that you should not see Uzair as the son of God, just as the Qur'an swears that Jesus is not the son of God.
Shia muslims believe Muhammad is noor and not normal human being where as sunni and wahabi believe Muhammad is normal human being,does that make the basis of judging whole Muslim umma , absolutely not like that if some jews believe in history that Ezra was son of God that doesn't apply to whole Jewish community and if some jews said in history that Ezra is son of God that doesn't mean they said that in same sense as Christians say about jesus!
Some scholars say that uzair is not referring to Ezra but to metatron who some medieval Jews prayed to.
Whoever says that God (سبحانه و تعالى) literally has offspring is a disbeliever and polytheist. Attributing to God a son is likening Him to His creation.
So when the Christians say that Jesus is the son of God, they meant it.
But when the Jews say that Ezra is the Son of God, they do not believe it?
Or could it be this easy, Tovia, that Muhammad got it wrong? would not be his first time.
This man would defend islam no matter what it said...
The explanation is just ridiculous by Tovia. Even if a tiny sect of Jews believed that Ezra was a figurative "son of God", this is different compared to the entire Christian population believing Jesus is the Son of God or God in flesh. You can't compare the two and God wouldn't link the two statements together. Only Mohammad would say such ridiculous things.

True information you give
I most probably it wasn’t Ezra Quran’s word is Ozair/ Ozyer . Ozair was also the name of angel Metatron . Some Jews did worship angel Metatron.
Actually there is a research on this ayat that describes a background of that ayat: on the south of arab peninsula in area of modern Yemen there had been a tribe that was following judaism and considered Esdra as a son if the God.
then why is that info not in the quran,perfect book lmfao
@@donhue4546 why there should be one? certain ayah were revealed due to certain circumstances that we know about by this day, what's surprising about it? or it should an encyclopedia about different christian and jewish sects as an appendix to it?
@@comedyrussia what are you on about,you sound like something out of the quran,,explain yourself
@@donhue4546 There were jewish ppl who reverted to Islam during times of Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him, none of them had any question regarding this ayah, none of jewish tribes around muslim community had any questions on that either. Also jewish religion was widely represented on peninsula at that time, so that if this was incorrect it would be obvious already during Prophet's peac ebe upon him lifetime.
@@donhue4546 "In February 624, when the qibla (direction of prayer) changed from Jerusalem to Mecca. Sallam ibn Mishkam, a Jew who lived in Medina and his friends asked Muhammad[peace be upon him]: “How can we follow you when you have abandoned our qibla and you do not allege that Uzair (Ezra) is the son of God?”. This verse is situated in a context of theological disputes with the Jewish community of Medina. The Quran emphasizes the absolute divinity of God and warns against associating any being with Him. It further condemns Jewish and Christian leaders of the time for deceiving the masses into taking "their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of God". In casting doubt on claims about the divine status of Uzayr and Christ, the Quran also instructs Muslims to reject such beliefs. These arguments reflect the tensions between the Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities of Arabia"
Good explanation from the Rabbi!
A point of clarification: Ezra ("Uzair") is not considered a prophet in the Quran or the canonical sources. Some Muslim scholars probably did express the opinion that he was, but the evidence is far too ambiguous to attribute this view to Islamic tradition as a whole. He is certainly not called a prophet in the Quran, or in any of the canonical traditions accepted as sound (such as those in Bukhari or Muslim).
Nor does the Islamic tradition give any clear grounds for denying that Ezra was a prophet; the issue is left open, as with many other figures.
That's irrelevant as the claim is that the Jews in general believe that Ezra is the Son of God like the Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God. This is obviously false and if Mohammad meant a tiny sect of Jews he would've said SOME Jews. It doesn't and it's supposed to be the perfect word of God. Very obvious error
@@mattpowell6291if you think mohamed was this stupid you are so damn wrong lmao the man knows major details about Judaism and he wouldn’t make such a blatant mistake. He was most likely talking about a sect. Mohamed knew jews very well and that was the only time he talked about them worshiping a man unlike christians. Mohamed had a very good idea about the basics of judaism.
@@bigmonkedong Clearly Mohammad had no idea of the basics of Judaism or the stories in the Torah. That's why they are so completely different. Some of the differences between the Torah and the Quran are hilarious. No wonder they rejected his new religion.
If Mohammad meant only a sect of Jews believed that Ezra was the son of God he should have written this. Clearly he believed that all Jews thought that Ezra was the Son of God which is so funny and inaccurate. The Christians believed that Jesus was the Son of God as God in flesh. This is a completely different meaning to Ezra being a son of God. Of course that tiny sect of Jews didn't believe Ezra was God as a human. More proof that Mohammad had no idea what he was saying and that it's an error.

This guy is brilliant , I would not be surprised he embraces Islam .
On 2 Esdras 2:42-48 Ezra was given a divine status. So maybe the issue was some jewish tribe consider Ezra as divine
I THINK ITS NOT ERZA ITS UZAIR HE WAS SOMEONE DIED 100 YEARS AND THEN CAME BACK ALIVE AS THE QURAN PROVIDES HE WAS FASCINATED THE CREATION OF ALLAH AND SAYING HOW IS THIS CREATED AND BEEN DESTROYED AND ALLAH THEN DEMONSTRATE ON HIM BY TAKING HIS LIFE AND THEN RETURNED IT TO HIM AFTER 100 YEARS
AND THE JEWS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE ARAB JEWS BUT THIS TOPIC IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION
2:00 - Response from Pakistan- No We do not believe that "We are all Children of God"
Ezra wrote the Jewish book after he returned to Al Qudis, he was referred in the Jewish text as an Angel and at that time period Angels where thought to be as sons of God.
I may dare say that rabies think of Ezra as the second most important prophet after Mousa (pace apon him).
He took several texts and put them in one book.
Laws where changed or modified to his understanding, as a result the laws are not the same that God intended to the Jews.
Changing laws is only for Allah , when you change a single thing you are taking Allah's role and in that scene you worship who changed the text or laws.
This is my understanding.
hM
The Quran commentary for that verse says that some Jews were saying Ezra is son of god. Also islam is against calling any prophet son of god. This verse doesn’t say that Jews were believing Ezra is divine.
Ezra or Uzair in Arabic . As you said the Quran mentioned him in chapter 9 verse 30. But also Mr Rabbi, his story is mentioned in Al Baqara chapter 2 verse259 ." Or of him who, when passing by a town the rooftop which had caved in, exclaimed, 'how will God restore it to life after its destruction?' Thereupon God caused him to die, and after a hundred years, brought him back to life. God asked, ' How long have you remained in this state?' He answered, ' I have remained a day or part of a day. ' God said, ' No, you have remained in this state for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink; they have not rotted. Look at your ass. We will make you a sign to mankind. Look at the bones _ how We set them together, then clothe them with flesh!' When it had all become clear to him, he said, ' Now I know that God has power over all things. ' So Ezra was passing by Jerusalem riding his donkey carrying little food and the rest of the story as mentioned in the Noble Quran above.
The New Testament was originally written in Greek. It makes sense now why later Christians mistook Jesus AS as the literal 'son of God'. The Romans who were originally polytheists also greatly influenced post-crucifixion Christianity. This is basically an ancient example of "lost in translation".
It makes no sense that you ignore the fact that this verse is a clear error in the Quran. No Jew believed that Ezra was the ACTUAL Son of God therefore this is an error. Christians believe that Jesus IS the ACTUAL Son of God so linking the two makes no sense. God doesn't make mistakes but Mohammad does
@@mattpowell6291 allah has no son,there trying to prove the quran is right but they commit shirk,there must be a child of allah to say the jews took ezra as the son of allah allah has no children only creations
There were Jews in Medina at that time who believed that Uzair (Ezra) (عليه السلام) was literally the “Son of God”. Not all Jews believed that, just that group.
No they didn't. If they believed this then they wouldn't be Jews. Thos is why Jesus was rejected by some of the Jews. They may have thought that Ezra was an important person of God and a "son of God" but this is different to the entire Christian population believing that Jesus is God in flesh or the Son of God. God wouldn't compare the two, only Mohammad would which makes the Quran invalid

Sahih Muslim 183 a
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported:
Some people during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Messenger of Allah! shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Yes, and added: Do you feel any trouble in seeing the sun at noon with no cloud over it, and do you feel trouble in seeing the moon (open) in the full moonlit night with no cloud over it? They said: No, Messenger of Allah! He (the Holy Prophet) said: You will not feel any trouble in seeing Allah on the Day of Resurrection any more than you do in seeing any one of them. When the Day of Resurrection comes a Mu'adhdhin (a proclaimer) would proclaim: Let every people follow what they used to worship. Then all who worshipped idols and stones besides Allah would fall into the Fire, till only the righteous and the vicious and some of the people of the Book who worshipped Allah are left. Then the Jews would be summoned, and it would be said to them: What did you worship? They will say: We worshipped 'Uzair, son of Allah. It would be said to them: You tell a lie; Allah had never had a spouse or a son. What do you want now? They would say: We feel thirsty, O our Lord! Quench our thirst. They would be directed (to a certain direction) and asked: Why don't you go there to drink water? Then they would be pushed towards the Fire (and they would find to their great dismay that) it was but a mirage (and the raging flames of fire) would be consuming one another, and they would fall into the Fire.
This is related to a particular group of jews in Madina before Quran was revealed

No sir. we Muslim don't believe in any sense that we are children of God
Salam /shaloom brother, I remember reading that Allah said that some jews/Christians did evil things( daily matters) if it was not their Leaders(rabbis....) who stopped them , they would have become transgressors. that 's because their Leaders feared Allah as it was supposed to be feared and spoke the truth, so here we see a good example of a Rabbi who is responsible, fair and knowledgeable unlike some Christians who claim to know the truth, who would use any passage where it is not clear to attack Islam or others. Hence why I admire your honesty. Bless you and May God almighty guide you and guide all your followers to the truth. Amen. I think that jew or jews who believed so saw the miracle of Prophet Ezra Peace and blessing upon him and assumed he had to be the son of the Almighty since he was given everything he needed to re-establish temple worship in Jerusalem, including sacrifices of atonement. The covenant community would resume covenant worship of their covenant God in the covenant city.. but we all know that the moment you compare Almighty God to any of his creation, you have then committed a huge and grave sin
The Jews didn't believe in a son of God so there is NO WAY that a tiny sect of Jews would've believed that Ezra was God in flesh. The entire population of Christians on the other hand did believe that Jesus is God in flesh which is why the two statements connected together makes no sense. God wouldn't make these statements and link them together. Only Mohammad would do such a thing
Like how it was answered and addressed but a misinformation slipped through, no Muslim would ever consider himself to be a child of God not even in the Jewish comprehension and use of this expression. The Quran actually rebuked both Jews and Christians for using and believing that in chapter 5 verse 18.
Another mistake that a well versed person like the rabbi shouldn't fall into is implying that the Quran was the work or word of prophet Muhammed! Muslims believe it to be the word of GOD.

Much respect to rabbi tovia, from what i understand, quran described group of jews in specific times, in the context of giving lessons, the part about ezra the scribe is because some jews did saw ezra as a great person who lead a revolution and was a great leader, so they exaggerated with the description that he is the son of god
In islamic tradition it is wrong to say a son of good in any sense, so probably that verse condemns everybody who says son of god, according to islam everything is a creation and a slave. There are also a lot of other intriguing interpretations of this verse
Have never heard the Rabbi never says anything disdainful about the Koran or Islam. That's seems very wise and prudent
That seems very weak and cowardice. The Quran contains heaps of biblical stories retold completely differently and he never criticizes it. Yet if one word in the Gospels is slightly different compared to the Tanakh, he loses his mind.

There is no general concept of sonship in Islam. Allah is father to none. People are either slaves of Allah or in rebellion. There is no Judaic reference to a belief in 'Uzair' being the Son of G_d. Muhammad is not renowned as a teacher of comparative religions. He even presented the Christian Trinity as Father, Son and Mother. A deeper study of Muhammad and his claims will cast a different light on this issue. Bless you, Rabbi.

روى مسلم في (صحيحه) عن أبي سعيد الخدري، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ((إذا كان يوم القيامة أذن مؤذن: لتتبع كل أمة ما كانت تعبد، فلا يبقى أحد كان يعبد غير الله سبحانه من الأصنام والأنصاب إلا يتساقطون في النار، حتى إذا لم يبق إلا من كان يعبد الله من بر وفاجر، وغبر أهل الكتاب. فيدعى اليهود، فيقال لهم: ما كنتم تعبدون؟ قالوا: كنا نعبد عزير ابن الله. فيقال: كذبتم ما اتخذ الله من صاحبة ولا ولد. فماذا تبغون؟ قالوا: عطشنا يا ربنا، فاسقنا. فيشار إليهم: ألا تردون؟ فيحشرون إلى النار كأنها سراب يحطم بعضها بعضاً، فيتساقطون في النار. ثم يدعى النصارى، فيقال لهم: ما كنتم تعبدون؟ قالوا: كنا نعبد المسيح ابن الله، فيقال لهم: كذبتم، ما اتخذ الله من صاحبة ولا ولد، فيقال لهم: ما تبغون؟ فيقولون: عطشنا، يا ربنا فاسقنا، قال: فيشار إليهم: ألا تردون؟ فيحشرون إلى جهنم كأنهم سراب، يحطم بعضها بعضاً، فيتساقطون في النار. حتى إذا لم يبق إلا من كان يعبد الله من بر وفاجر، أتاهم رب العالمين سبحانه وتعالى في أدنى صورة من التي رأوه فيها، قال: فماذا تنتظرون؟ تتبع كل أمة ما كانت تعبد. قالوا: يا ربنا، فارقنا الناس في الدنيا أفقر ما كنا إليهم، ولم نصاحبهم، فيقول: أنا ربكم، فيقولون: نعوذ بالله منك، لا نشرك بالله شيئاً (مرتين أو ثلاثاً) حتى إن بعضهم ليكاد أن ينقلب. فيقول: هل بينكم وبينه آية فتعرفونه بها؟ فيقولون: نعم، فيكشف عن ساق، فلا يبقى من كان يسجد لله من تلقاء نفسه إلا أذن الله له بالسجود، ولا يبقى من كان يسجد اتقاءً ورياءً إلا جعل الله ظهره طبقة واحدة كلما أراد أن يسجد خرَّ على قفاه، ثم يرفعون رؤوسهم، وقد تحول في صورته التي رأوه فيها أول مرة، فقال: أنا ربكم، فيقولون: أنت ربنا. ثم يضرب الجسر على جهنم، وتحل الشفاعة، ويقولون: اللهم سلم سلم.
قيل: يا رسول الله، وما الجسر؟ قال: دحض مزلة، فيه خطاطيف وكلاليب وحسك، تكون بنجد فيها شويكة يقال لها: السعدان، فيمر المؤمنون كطرف العين، وكالبرق وكالريح وكالطير وكأجاويد الخيل والركاب، فناج مسلم، ومخدوش مرسل، ومكدوس في نار جهنم)) (1) . وروى مسلم أيضاً عن أبي هريرة في وصف المرور على الصراط، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((وترسل الأمانة والرحم، فتقومان على جنبتي الصراط يميناً وشمالاً، فيمر أولكم كالبرق، قال: قلت: بأبي أنت وأمي، أي شيء كالبرق؟ قال: ألم تروا إلى البرق كيف يمرُّ ويرجع في طرفة عين؟ ثم كمرّ الريح، ثم كمرِّ الطير وشدِّ الرجال، تجري بهم أعمالهم، ونبيكم قائم على الصراط يقول: رب، سلم سلم. حتى تعجز أعمال العباد، حتى يجيء الرجل فلا يستطيع السير إلا زحفاً، قال: وعلى حافتي الصراط كلاليب معلقة مأمورة بأخذ من أمرت به. فمخدوش ناج، ومكدوس في النار))
I wonder if it could be a reference to Philo, a Hellenic-Jewish philosopher from Alexandria who was big on combining Judaism with Platonic Metaphysics?
For what it's worth he didn't have a good opinion of the Rabbis and was allegedly related to the Priests, which sounds like he could have been a Sadducee.

Deuteronomy 16:1
In Surah 9:30 we read that “the Jews” say that Ezra (actually Uzair in Arabic who is not known in the Jewish literature) is the Son of God the Christians say that the Jesus is the Son of God. “the Jews” implies all of the Jews, yet there are no Jews known who ever made this claim. And even if there was some obscure Jewish sect that said that Ezra is the Son of God, the verse is still false as “the Jews” ie all of them never said this.
No human has the account of the whole history in his hands.
We just rely on whatever script we may by chance find in sand or ashes

@@lawren7615 THERE MUST BE A SON OF ALLAH TO BE TRUE ,BUT THERES NOT,SO THE QURAN LIED
The Quran says ‘the Jews’ not ‘those Jews’
sura Al-Taubah .
The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of lord "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of lord ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May lord destroy them; how are they deluded? , 31They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides lord, and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.
The Lord sent all the apostles with one message: the unification of the worship of the Lord who established the first and the last.
He is the Lord who deserves worship. He created Adam and created the universe
And create life.
Most likely the Late Classical Jews of Yathrib and other villages in northwest Arabia, who he was directly confronting prayed to Ezra. Some kabbalistic Jews similarly fell into worshipping Enoch. The Old Testament is full of Israelites turning to other Gods and making partners for Hashem and then Prophets leading them back to the religion. These things happen. The Muslims believe the Ishmaelites were initially Monotheists but over time became Polytheists by venerating the idols of other nations.
Just look at Greek mythology. Every Greek city believes in their version of Theos, or Zeus, the God. They are also worshipping lesser Daemones, Spirits, Jinn, etc. Then as they share their stories with each other you end up with the complex mythology. So Athens worshipped its patron Athena and Thebes worshipped Hercules, and these legends spread and mixed and became the stories that have survived to the present. Then later Greek philosophers tried to return to a more rational monotheism.
Gordon Darnell Newby has suggested that the Quranic expression may have reflected Ezra's possible designation as one of the Bene Elohim (lit. sons of God) by Jews of the Hejaz.

Gn 49:10-12: "No será quitado el cetro de Judá, ni el legislador de entre sus pies, hasta que venga Silo; y a él se congregarán los pueblos. Atando a la vid su pollino, y a la cepa el hijo de su asna, lavó en el vino su vestidura, y en la sangre de uvas su manto: Sus ojos rojos del vino, y los dientes blancos de la leche."
Ezra? Is this “Uzair” we are speaking about? That is not reffering to any prophet, Uzair is Arabic version of Osiris.. some of Israelites in the time of Moses (pbuh) followed Egyptian myths (Osiris). Uzair is not Ezra, its Osiris.
Osiris original name is “OSIR”, the “is” in the end is added later by the greeks.
A recent commentator suggested that Uzayr is actually Osiris and not Ezra the Prophet/Scribe. And the Jews when they were in Egypt took Osiris the same position as the Christians took Jesus Christ. Another commentator says that Uzayr is translated also as the Messiah, but the Jewish Messiah is David.
So the three candidates are:
1) Ezra/Esdras the Prophet/Scribe (there were a minority of Jews worshipping him at the time of the Prophet, as narrated by Ibn Abbas)
2) Osiris the Egyptian God of Fertility (related to Hathor, the Golden Calf, Sirius etc.)
3) David the Prophet/King (needs evidence)
And other candidates too such as Azariah.
These are only opinions, whoever Uzayr really is doesn't matter. What matters is that *there were some (minority of) Jews who took Uzayr (whoever he may be) as the Son of God,* which is condemned in Islam and in Orthodox Judaism.
