is this the 'ezra' whom is called 'help' ?

Question

`Uzair (Ezra) lived during the period around 450 B.C. The Jews regarded him with great reverence as the revivalist of their Scriptures which had been lost during their captivity in Babylon after the death of Prophet Solomon. So much so that they had lost all the knowledge of their Law, their traditions and of Hebrew, their national language. Then it was Ezra who re-wrote the Old Testament and revived the Law. That is why they used very exaggerated language in his reverence which misled some of the Jewish sects to make him 'the son of God'. The Quran, however, does not assert that all the Jews were unanimous in declaring Ezra as 'the son of God'. What it intends to say is that the perversion in the articles of faith of the Jews concerning Allah had degenerated to such an extent that there were some amongst them who considered Ezra as the
son of God.

? is there did u miss it ?

Answer 1

Well, sir. Let's take a look at your previous "question":

"The Jews say, "Ezra ('Uzair) is the son of Allah,*29 and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of God.""

It doesn't say SOME Jews, it says THE Jews, which implies ALL. Like I said earlier, it's not Mohammad's fault. He was just given false information from the GNOSTICS. For example, he confuses Mary (Miriam) Jesus's mother with Miriam the sister of Moses and Aaron. These two Miriams lived 1400 years apart.

Please please please please PLEASE read about the Gnostics, and you will understand why Mohammad made so many mistakes in regards to his retelling of Jewish and Christian stories....

Answer 2

Ezra was not the son of God. Jesus Christ was and is the Son of God. He is also called, the Word - and is the living Word of God.
See the beginning of John's Gospel in the Bible.
The historical Ezra was a priestly scribe who is thought to have led about 5,000 Israelite exiles living in Babylon to their home city of Jerusalem in 459 BCE. Many scholars credit him as the author of the Book of Ezra and the Book of 1 Chronicles in the Bible.
It is in the Qur'an that it is claimed that some Jews called Ezrah the Son of God, but this is not what Christians believe.
There is a lot more information about this on the site I have quoted.
However, I am a Christian and believe that only Jesus can be the Son of God becuase he is the only one who died for our sins, so that we can be forgiven, and he was the only one that was resurrected from the dead and therefore can offer us eternal life with him.

Hope this helps,
and God bless you and give you wisdom.
Have you ever read the Bible? :>)

Answer 3

wow your off the mark

name me one Jewish sect that thought that Ezra was the son of G-d, just one.

also Ezra did not re-write the Bible. How logical is it to say that a society lost its law and culture only after 70 years??? for crying out loud their were people that remembered the first temple when they built the second one.

Answer 4

what is your question and why do some religious people spend more time attacking other religions but never clean up their own religions?

Answer 5

pardon the question

Of course you are familiar with this Surah, but yr problem is of that ‘NOT interested in the SCIENCE OF THIS RELIGION; and that is why you can't understand it

[Tell us, if a bomb explodes any where on earth, who will be the suspected at this century?] Of course a TERRORIST……AND WHO IS THAT… I S L A M!!!!!
So! why you did not say a bad Muslim ? but after clarification then it is known which group, so that is similar to what you are trying to divert yr mind; to 'pinhead' point; though yr conscious alerted the true fact.

I however, appreciate yr talent', without that how could any can "Get to Know?"

Thank you 'Sir'

Like I said. Quote:- Tony *

earlier, it's not Mohammad's fault. He was just given false information
from the GNOSTICS.

A REPLY.

‘Here clearly you are refuting Allah, because the revelations from Him, My Lord and your Lord’


For example, he confuses Mary (Miriam) Jesus's mother
with Miriam the sister of Moses and Aaron. These two Miriams lived 1400
years apart.

Qur'an [19:27-28]
At length she brought (the babe) to her people, carrying him (in her
arms), They said: "O Mary! Truly a strange thing has thou brought! "O
sister of Aaron, thy father was not a man of evil, nor your mother a woman
unchaste!"

NOW LOOK; AT THIS
AND CALMLY
THINK.
AS the scientist do .(I want to remind you :- THAT, that BRAIN you are using: belongs to ALLAH; MY LORD AND YOUR LORD)

==============================================================

Qur'an [19 ] (27 t o 40)



From verse 27 to 40 of Surat Maryam


Then she brought the child to her people. They said, "0 Mary! This is a heinous sin that you have committed. 0 sister of Aaron! *19 your father was not a wicked man, nor was your mother an unchaste woman."*19a
(In answer to this) Mary merely pointed towards the infant. The people said, "How shall we talk with him, who is but an infant in the cradle" ?*20
Whereupon the child spoke out, "I am a servant of Allah: He has given me the Book and He has appointed me a Prophet, and He has made me blessed wherever I may be. He has enjoined upon me to offer Salat and give Zakat so long as I shall live. He has made me dutiful to my mother,*20a-- and He has not made me oppressive and hard-hearted. Peace be upon me on the day I was born and peace shall be on me on the day I die and on the day I am raised to life."*21
This is Jesus, the son of Mary, and this is the truth about him concerning which they are in doubt. It does not behove God to beget a son for He is far above this. When He decrees a thing, He only says, "Be", and it does come into being.*22
(And Jesus had declared) "Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him; this is the Right Way."*23 But in spite of this, the sects began to have differences among themselves.*24 So those who adopted the ways of disbelief shall suffer a horrible woe, when they witness the Great Day. On that Day when they shall appear before Us, their ears and their eyes shall become very sharp, but today these transgressors (neither: hear nor see the Truth and) have strayed into manifest deviation. 0 Muhammad, now that these people are not paying: heed and are not believing, warn them of the horrors of the Day, when judgment shall be passed, and they will have nothing left for them but vain regret. Ultimately, We will inherit the Earth and all that is on it, and everyone shall be returned to Us.*25

===============================================================


19(means)
. "Sister of Aaron" may either mean that Mary had a brother of the name of Aaron, or it may mean that she belonged to the family of Prophet Aaron. The first meaning is supported by a tradition of the Holy Prophet and the second is plausible because that is supported by the Arabic idiom. But we are inclined to the second meaning, for the wording of the said tradition does not necessarily mean that she actually had a brother named Aaron. The tradition as related in Muslim,Nasai, Tirmidhi, etc. says that when the Christians of Najran. criticised the Quranic version of stating Mary as the sister of Aaron before Hadhrat Mughirah bin Shu`bah, he was not able to satisfy them, because Prophet Aaron had passed away centuries earlier. When he presented the problem before the Holy Prophet, he replied, "Why didn't you say that the Israelites named their children after their Prophets and other pious men?" That is, "You could have answered their objection like this as well." (See also E.N. 32 of Al-i-Imra'n).



I9a.(means)
How can the people who reject the miraculous birth of Prophet Jesus, explain why Mary's whole community had come out to curse and condemn her when she had appeared before them with the child ?

20(means)
. People who misinterpret the Qur'an. translate this verse as :
"How shall we talk with him, who is but a child of yesterday?"

They attribute these words to the elderly people of the Jews, who said years later, when Jesus was a grown up boy, that they could not have any useful dialogue with a mere kid. But the person who keeps the whole context in view, will realize that this interpretation is absurd and has been given merely to avoid the miracle. As a matter of fact, the dialogue took place when the people were condemning Mary who being unmarried, had brought forth a child, and not when the child had grown up into manhood. V. 46 of Al-i-‘1mrän (III) and v. 110 of Al-Ma.'idah (V) also support the view that Prophet Jesus had uttered these words as a baby in the cradle and not when grown up. In the first verse, the angel while giving the good news of a son to Mary, says : "He will speak to the people alike when in the cradle and when grown up"; in the other verse, Allah Himself says to Prophet Jesus : ". . . you talked to the people even in the cradle as you talked when you were grown up."

20a(means)
The words used are :("... dutiful to my mother", and not dutiful) to my parents". This is another proof of the fact that Jesus had no father, and for the same reason he has been called 'Jesus son of Mary' everywhere in the Quran

21(means)
.This speech in the cradle by Jesus was the 'Sign' to which the angel referred in v. 21. As Allah intended to punish the children of Israel for their continuous wicked ways and evil deeds, He made a pious virgin girl of the family of Prophet Aaron, who had devoted herself to worship in the Temple under the patronage of Zachariah, bear a child and bring it before her people in order to concentrate the whole attention of the thousands of people assembled there on this extraordinary event. Then He made this new born child speak out even in the cradle that he had been appointed a Prophet. Though they had seen this wonderful Sign of Allah, they rejected the Prophethood of Jesus and brought him to the court for crucifixion, and thus incurred the wrath of Allah. (For further details, please see Al-i-`Imrän (III) : E.N.'s 44 and 53, and An-Nisä (IV) : E.N.'s 212-213).

22(means)
. In vv. 1-35, it has been shown that the "Doctrine of the son of God" in regard to Prophet Jesus is absolutely wrong. For just as the miraculous birth of Prophet John did not make him the 'son of God', so the miraculous birth of Prophet Jesus could not make him the son' of God. For the births of both were the result of the same sort of miracle as they have been mentioned together in the same context in the Gospel of Luke. Therefore, it is mere distortion that the Christians should regard one as the servant of God and the other as the son of God.

23(means)
This declaration by Jesus has been cited to tell the Christians that Jesus also taught the same Doctrine of Tauhid as was taught by all other Prophets. And it was they who had invented the doctrine of shirk by making him the son of God. (Please also refer to Al-i-'Imrän (III) : E.N. 68, and Al-Md'idah (V) : E.N.'s 100, 101 and 130).

24(means)
That is, the sects of the Christians.

25(means)
Here the address which was meant to be delivered before King Negus and his courtiers comes to an end. In the Introduction to this Surah, we have already stated the historical background of this address. In order to form an idea of its great significance, it should be kept in mind that :
(a) this address was sent down at the time when the persecuted Muslims of Makkah were going to migrate to a Christian kingdom so that they may present before the Christians the true Islamic creed about Prophet Jesus. This shows that the Muslims under no circumstances should conceal the Truth ;
(b) it shows a most wonderful moral courage of the Muslim Migrants to Habash that they recited this address in the royal court at the critical moment, when the courtiers who had been bribed were bent on handing them over to their enemies. They indeed were faced with the real threat that this frank Islamic criticism of the basic articles of the Christian Faith might turn the king against them and he might hand them over to the Quraish. But in spite of this, they presented the whole truth before the king without the least hesitation.
