Question: In reading the Qur'an, I noticed this passage:

> 
> [**Qur'an 9:30**](http://quran.com/9/30) **The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah** "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?
> 
> 
> 

Is there any basis for the claim? Did Jews believe Ezra to be the son of God when the Qur'an was written?

Answer: 
No. This concept is completely foreign to Judaism. The other religion mentioned derived the concept from paganism, not Judaism.
The concept of anyone being the son of God is very foreign to Judaism, as well as the majority of Jews.

Also, that's not what that verse says (but interpreting the Quran is off-topic here).
