Is Uzair a prophet or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is Uzair a prophet or not?
Answer:
People have differed on this; some say he is a prophet, and some say he is a scholar among the scholars of the Children of Israel who memorized the Torah by heart. They said he was inspired because the Torah is difficult to memorize, unlike the Qur'an, which Allah made easy. So they claimed that when he memorized the Torah, he was a prophet and was inspired. Allah knows best.
