Do Muslims believe that Dinosaurs exist?

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

I pray that this finds you well, and in the best of health and spirits. May Allah grant you all good and success in this life and the next.

Matters of belief are established through two ways:

(1) That which is rationally necessary in of itself (such as the existence, absoluteness, and transcendence of God--the Creator).

(2) That which is in itself possible, but is established by the transmitted texts of the Qur'an and Sunna (such as the sending of Prophets, and matters of the Next Life).

Whether dinosaurs existed or not is not a matter of belief, as it is neither in itself rationally necessary nor in itself established by the primary texts. Rather, it is a matter of rational possibility which we turn to science to consider whether established or not.

And Allah alone gives success.
