What People Usually Mean by This Name
Ezra, the prophet Uzair (AS). Directly Quranic: 'And the Jews said Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Christians said the Messiah is the son of Allah' (9:30), the Quran refutes this. But Uzair himself is honoured, he was shown the miracle of resurrection: killed and raised after 100 years, his donkey restored, his food still fresh (2:259).
Uzair (Ezra) is the prophet associated with the restoration of the Torah. Pakistani and Arab boys name.
Uzayr (AS), corresponding to the biblical Ezra, is named directly in the Quran at Surah At-Tawbah (9:30): 'The Jews say Uzayr is the son of Allah'. The Quran refutes the attribution as one of the human errors that theology falls into.
In the tafsir tradition Uzayr is remembered as the figure of Surah Al-Baqarah (2:259), the one who passed by a ruined town and asked 'How will Allah revive this after its death?' and whom Allah caused to die for a hundred years and then raised again as a sign.
