Abstract
Ezra was an active figure not only in Judaistic, Christian, and but also in Islamic tradition thus the figure of Ezra was an interesting topic that seems worthy to study, for the scholars. Many scholars, especially theologians, and historians went on deep studies considering his religious and historical position. Up to the present, mostly, the scholars mention some Jewish sect which is said to have believed in Ezra was the son of God. Unsurprisingly, similar claims can be found in the Quran. (Tawba:30) even there were some mentions the groups of people who regarded him as the son of God, there is no absolute mention related to the name of these groups. In this article, after the general information regarding possible names refers, attributed to Ezra, were covered, his relation with Samaritans, one Jewish sect, was intensified on. Many scholars approve that there was Samaritan hatred against Ezra thus their relations have not occurred positively. However, this article claims that the group of people, worshipping Ezra as the son of God, was a small Samaritan group: Dustan Sect. Additionally, the influence of the Greek-influenced Christian mind on the idea of the son of God as ‘‘angelic’’ meaning and its possible reflections on Ezra was sophisticated.
