Answer 1Neither. Ezra, or Azariah, is not son of God in Judaism or Christianity. The Qur'an claims that Jews call Uzayr the son of God (Q: 9:30), but that has never been the case and is not part of Judaism. To this day no Jewish scholar, and no archaeologist, has discovered any document from any Jewish sect, even ones that would be called heretical today, that make the claim that Ezra, Azariah or anyone else is the son of God. Answer 2It is apparent that there is some confusion.

(1) Ezra is not the one referred to in Qur'an. The one referred to in Qur'an is Uzayr (not to be Ezra but Azariah), mentioned in the book of Daniel as Abednego.

(2) The verse (Q, 9:30) refers to those Jews; who lived in Arabia during the time of prophet Muhammad; who did or do call Uzayr son of God, rather than the overwhelming majority who revere him as a scribe. Accordingly, this verse referred to a specific group of Jews who lived in Arabia during the time of prophet Muhammad. In the Qur'an, the verses do not specify to particular groups. For example, when it speaks of the Christians worshiping Christ as the son of God, it doesn't specifically say Trinitarian Christians, instead just using the generic term Christian. Therefore, it obviously does not refer to all Christians, such as Unitarians, who call Christ a prophet rather than son of God. Refer to link below.

(3) Refer to the attached link, authored by Westerners, to know that in history there were a group of Jews who considered Uzayr (not to be Ezra but Azariah) as son of God.
