Hazrat Uzair (SWS)
“He is the same Ezra whom the Jews regarded as revivalist of their religion. It is said that he lived around the fifth century BC. The Jews had lost the Torah in their period of trial and tribulation. It is said that it was Ezra who re-compiled the Torah from his memory. Thus the Israelites revered him a lot. It is evident from this statement of the Quran that among the Jews of the Arabian peninsula this reverence had increased to such an extent that they made him the son of God”.
