Uzayr - most often identified with the Judeo-Christian Ezra (, ') - is a figure mentioned in the Qur'an, in the verse , which states that he was revered by the Jews as "the son of God". Jews do not agree on that statement.〔(Is Ezra ‘a son’ or ‘the Son’ of God? )〕 Historically, Muslim scholars have interpreted this verse as referring to a small group of Jews making such a reverence.〔Encyclopedia of Islam, ''Uzayr''〕 Ezra lived between the times of King Solomon and the time of Zachariah, father of John the Baptist. Although not explicitly mentioned in the Quran among the prophets, Ezra is considered as one by some Muslim scholars, based on Islamic traditions.〔 〕〔 〕 On the other hand, Muslim scholars such as Mutahhar al-Maqdisi and Djuwayni and notably Ibn Hazm and al-Samaw'al accused Ezra (or one of his disciples) of falsification of the Torah.〔 Several sources state that the Qur'an refers to Jews who began to call Ezra a "son of God" due to his religious achievements.〔http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Contrad/External/ezra.html〕 Gordon Darnell Newby states it may due to misunderstanding of Ezra's position in the Jewish faith as a Bene Elohim. Other Western scholars, relying on exegetical material from Ibn Abbas and Ibn Qutaybah, consider Uzair not to be Ezra but Azariah, mentioned in the Book of Daniel as Abednego.〔 〕 ==Quranic statements about perceived Jewish exaltation== The Quran claims that Jews exalted Ezra as a son of God: The Jews call Ezra a son of God, and the Christians call the Christ a son of God. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. May Allah destroy them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! () According to Islamic sources, this Quranic verse was revealed to Muhammad at Medina in the month of Dhu al-Qi'dah in 9AH (~630 AD). By that time, most of the Jewish population of Medina had been exiled (or in the case of the tribe of Banu Qurayza, killed en masse). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uzair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
