Does the Quran mention dinosaurs, and if so, how?
The Quran mentions in a few verses about creatures of the Earth, and some Muslims believe that they could be references to dinosaurs. However, the Quran doesn't explicitly mention the name "dinosaur." Specific verses relating to creatures of immense size and strength, like those found in Surah Al-Ahqaf and Surat Al-Feel, are often interpreted by scholars and commentators as alluding to dinosaur species. The connection is based on interpretations of the verses' descriptions.

Dinosaurs aren't specifically named; however, some interpret Quranic verses referencing extinct creatures as alluding to dinosaurs.
