Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Salam
Alaikum Brother.
In
Quran , In Surah Tauba mention that Jews beleives that Hazrat Uzair (PBUH) was
a son of Allah ?
Does
Jews are lying that they dont beleive in Uzair as son of Allah ?
Also
Did Jews at that time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ever denied when this Ayah was
revealed ?

Answer:
Uzair jews son of Allah
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad
(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your Question: In
Quran , In Surah Tauba mention that Jews beleives that Hazrat Uzair (PBUH) was
a son of Allah ?
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verse 30:
30 The Jews call Uzair (Ezra) a son of Allah
and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths; (in this)
they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are
deluded away from the truth!
Your Question: Does
Jews are lying that they dont beleive in Uzair as son of Allah ?
Just as in Christianity and unfortunately today even in
Islam, the Jews had divided their religion into several sects, and a good
number amongst those Jewish sects used to believe in Prophet Uzair as the son
of Allah.
Your Question: Also
Did Jews at that time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ever denied when this Ayah was
revealed ?
There is absolutely no record and no question of any
amongst the Jews denying that they believed Allah had sons; for the very basis
of religious belief formed by the Jews was they were all the sons of God and
His beloveds!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verse 18:
18 (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah
and His beloved."
Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay ye are but men of the men He hath
created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and
to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between:
and unto Him is the final goal (of all)."
Even in the current Old Testament there are several
references which portray the (self-invented) belief of Jews as being the sons
of the God All-Mighty!
Old Testament Book of Job 38:7 ‘When the
morning stars sang together, all the sons of God (the Jews) shouted for joy.”
Old Testament 29th Psalm 1st
verse: ‘O ye sons of Elim’ (El being the name of God, the sons being the Jews)
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
