What do Muslims believe about dinosaurs?

Salaam, I was wondering if Islamic teachings ever mention or recognize the existence of dinosaurs. Has there been any scholarly discussion or references in religious texts that address these creatures? JazakAllah khair for sharing any insights!

Never thought about this before. Makes you wonder about all the ancient creatures mentioned in stories of prophets.

Interesting question but I'm not sure there's any direct mention in the Quran. Dinosaurs existed way before humans, so maybe they're part of Allah's creation we don't fully understand yet?

Scholars usually say they were real animals, created by Allah. Some tafsirs mention giant creatures in early earth periods. But honestly bro, it's not a core belief thing.

Good question but honestly who knows? As long as we believe Allah created everything, the details aren't that important for our iman.

Saw a video where a sheikh said dinosaurs were part of the creations before Adam (AS). Makes sense to me - Allah's power has no limits.

Why overthink it? They're just animals that lived long ago. Our faith doesn't need to explain every scientific detail.
