Abstract

Bu makalede İslami gelenekte Üzeyir peygamber olarak karşımıza çıktığı bilinen hem Yahudilik, Hristiyanlık ve hem de İslami gelenekte önemli bir karakter olan Ezra figürü, tarihsel ve dini bir figür olarak ele alınmıştır. Ezra konusu özellikle teoloji ve tarih gibi disiplinlerden çok sayıda ilim insanı için çalışmaya değer bir konu olarak görülmüştür. Yapılan bu çalışmalarda onun tarihsel ve dini statüsüne değinilmiştir. Şimdiye kadar yapılan çalışmalara göre Ezra’nın ‘’tanrının oğlu’’ olduğunu düşünen topluluklar olmuştur. Bu iddiaya benzer ifadeleri Kur’an’da da bulmak mümkündür zira Tevbe Suresi 30. ayette benzer ifadeler görülebilir. Ancak şimdiye değin Ezra’nın tanrının oğlu olduğuna inanan grupların olduğu bilgisini işitsek de, söz konusu grubun/topluluğun kimler olduğu sorusu cevapsız kalmıştır. Bu makalede, Ezra’ya atfedilen isimlerden ve Ezra olduğu düşünülen figürlerden bahsedildikten sonra, esasen Yahudi bir mezhep olan Samiriler ile Ezra arasındaki ilişkiden bahsedilmiştir. Genel olarak Samiriler ile Ezra arasında pozitif ilişkilerin vuku’ bulduğunu söyleyemeyiz ve hatta çoğu araştırmacılara göre Samirilerin Ezra’ya bitmek bilmeyen öfkeleri vardır. Ancak işte bu makalede Samiriler arasında bir topluluğun Ezra’ya ötekilerden farklı olarak, pozitif bir yaklaşım benimsemelerinden bahsedilmiş ve ardından da onu peygamber ve Tanrının Oğlu olarak kabul etmeleri meselesi vurgulanmıştır. Yine bu kanıya varırken de, Yunan felsefesi ile entegre olan Hristiyan düşüncenin getirdiği ‘‘tanrının oğlu’’ ibaresinin angelic anlamda kullanılmış olup olmayacağına ve bunun Ezra’ya olan muhtemel yansımasına da dikkat çekilmiştir.

The Figure of Ezra (Uzayr) and His Adoption As The Son Of God by Dustan Sect

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.
