Islam Ezra Uzayr Quran Theology Judeo-Christian Relations categories: Religion Islamic Studies Theology keywords: Ezra Uzayr in Quran Judeo-Christian Prophet Ezra Biblical Studies Islamic Theology Definition and Meaning Ezra or Uzayr (عُزَيْر) is a figure mentioned once in the Quran (9:30). In this verse, he is noted to be regarded by some Jews as the “son of God,” a matter problematic in Islamic theology as it conflicts with the monotheistic principle of Tawhid (the oneness of God). Scholars debate whether Uzayr of the Quran directly references the historical biblical figure Ezra, who was a fifth-century B.C.E. scribe and priest critical in the restoration of Judaism following the Babylonian Exile.
