Who was 'Ezra' ?

[Zainab_M]

In the Qur'aan, Ezra is mentioned in 9:30.  The Qur'aan does not mention of him as a prophet or messenger. 
 
Perhaps he was a Jewish spiritual leader.  Allah knows best.
 
According to Jewish history, Ezra was perhaps a descendent of Aaron, brother of Moses.

I wonder if "ezra" has any place among the Jews of present days ..

Sisters,

Had to ask dad on this one. Dad studied in Yeshiva in Israel, meaning Talmudic studies.

Ezra was the grandson of Aaron, the brother of Moses. He was a highly rated priestly scribe, and this is common knowledge. Now for that which is not so well known.

He is viewed by many Jews as divine. By some as the son of God, by others as the precursor to Rabbi Akiva. In other words, meaning to make a very long story short, he is one of the earliest writers of the "Oral Traditions of the Elders," better known as the Talmud. For those who know very little about the Talmud, it heavily contradicts Torah/Tanahk, it blasphemes Allah. The Talmud has two versions, the Babylonian and the Jerusalem. The latter includes agriculture, something the Babylonian utterly despises, and the Babylonian is considered the authority.

Of the different versions of each, the Sconcino edition is the only one authorized by the Hassidic Rabbis, published by Sconino Press, translated in Jewish College of London.

Should you wish to read some of the Talmud, might I suggest the Sanhedrin section, ~521 pages. Why? Ezra was the main person initiating many of the precepts therein, and for one other reason I recommend it. The Sanhedrin is the section dealing with Isa, and his mother Maryam, and Christians in general. Talmudic Judaism UTTERLY despises Christians, Christianity, Isa, Maryam. They hate these far worse than Islam. Dad said, when reading the Talmud, he cried. I expect this will be your reaction as well. WHY? When you read their descriptions of Isa, of Maryam, you will understand.

Many of the hadeeth are taken from Talmud.

Talmud does not worship Allah, at all. It's "the other guy" they follow. Zionism is the political ideology of the Talmud.

Of the Jews, the Ethiopian and Yemeni Jews were never given the Talmud, and in Israel today are despised. The Karaite Jews were given it, and they rejected it as Satanic, and are hated as a result.

Some quotes from Talmud, specifically the writings of Ezra:
God reads Talmud standing up.
God has so much respect for Talmud, He has promised to send ALL Rabbis to Heaven.
God and Rabbi Akiva had a debate on God and on the Universe, and God acknowledged Rabbi Akiva won.
and there is far more than these.

I hope this explains some on Ezra.

Salamun Alaikom
