MCQ Detailed View

According to the Qur’an, a group among the Jews falsely claimed that Hazrat Uzair (A.S) was the "son of Allah." This belief is directly refuted in Surah At-Tawbah (9:30), where Allah condemns both the Jews and Christians for attributing divine sonship to Prophets. The verse states: “The Jews say, ‘Uzair is the son of Allah’; and the Christians say, ‘The Messiah is the son of Allah.’ That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before them. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?”

Hazrat Uzair (A.S) was a righteous servant and a scholar of the Torah who lived after the destruction of Jerusalem. Some Jewish sects began to exaggerate his status due to his wisdom and the role he played in restoring knowledge of the scriptures. This exaggeration led to the misguided claim of divine sonship — an act strictly forbidden and condemned in Islamic theology.

Islam teaches that no Prophet or human being can be a literal or metaphorical "son" of Allah. Allah is one and free from all human attributes such as having a son or lineage. Associating partners or attributes of divinity with Allah is known as shirk (polytheism), and it is the gravest sin in Islam.
