As'salamu Alaikum Everyone,
Why Ezra was called "son of GOD" by the Jews according to the Glorious Quran?
Why Ezra in particular?
We know that Ezra was called by the Jews:
1- Father of Judaism.
2- Went up to Heaven and remained there without ever dying.
We also know that the Jews' scriptures calls Jews:
"You are all gods and you are all the sons of God". Visit:

Our Son is better than your Son:
So Ezra is by default called "son of GOD". But he is a very special son of GOD because he was an extraordinary Jew. He was the Jews' best response to the Christians'
"Jesus is the son of GOD". So when the Christians used to boast Jesus is GOD's son, the Jews would answer them:
Your Messiah is false, and we have a much better son of GOD than yours.
Both are clowns. For GOD Almighty has no actual son. The title is metaphoric and it means
"raised to honor" (Quran 21:26). Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran made this point very clear:
