According to the Qur'an Jews and Christians are cursed. "May Allah destroy them."
Literal
(Word by Word) And said the Jews, "Uzair (is) son (of) Allah." And said the Christians, "Messiah (is) son (of) Allah." That (is) their saying with their mouths, they imitate the saying (of) those who disbelieved before. (May) Allah destroy them. How deluded are they!
Surah 9:30
Shakir And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!
Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985) The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
I don't understand what is so horrible about considering someone a son of God when Psalm 2 says:
7 I will tell of the decree; The Lord said to me, "You are My son; this day have I begotten you.
Why wasn't a curse put upon Jews for God saying King David was God's son -- "this day have I begotten you." ?
Thank you.
