Ozair is my name. But the original spelling was Uzair.The spelling in Arabic is still remain the same, just the spelling in roman is changed by my dad.
Uzair is a figure mentioned in the Quran, in the verse 9:30, this verse claims he is worshipped by the Yahud as "the son of God". He is often identified with Ezra (Arabic: 'عزير, 'Uzair, Turkish: 'Üzeyir) a biblical priest.
Although not explicitly mentioned in Quran among the prophets, Ezra is considered as one of the prophets by some Muslim scholars, based on Islamic traditions. Ezra lived between the times of King Solomon and the time of Zachariah, father of John the Baptist. On the other hand, Muslim scholars such as Mutahhar al-Maqdisi and Djuwayni and notably Ibn Hazm and al-Samaw'al accused Ezra (or one of his disciples) of falsification of the Scriptures. Several sources attribute Uzair's description as the "son of God" to the exaltation of his religious achievements coupled with a misunderstanding of certain Jews with regards to his position as Bene Elohim. There are differing contemporary interpretations of what Bene Elohim explicitly referred to, and its relative ambiguity is the primary reason that the Jews began to worship him as the son of God.
