    Question 2 questions, Islam And Animals!?

    Report bad ads?

    Salaam Alaykum,

    It has been a very long time since i have posted anything

    I have 2 questions:

    1. Mommed (pbu) was related to the Hasjiem-family, it is said ( i have read) that he believed in monotheism, before the beginning of Islam, in what did he believe?

    2. I had a discussion about islam with someone. The other person whom i discussed it with did not believe in God (still doesnt:P). One argument he gave me was the Dinosaurs....He said torah,bible,Koran say God created mankind water plants etc....and after that he created animals...so whats up with this? What about the Dinosaurs, where does Islam place the animals, before or after mankind? Totally confused and seeking for an answer

    I hope to get an answer really soon, thank you for your help. Really appreciate it.

    Wa Alaykum a salaam

    Re: 2 questions, Islam And Animals!?

    you recall tohe story of Genisis. how allah created the world in six (days). well in the beging of time the idea of the 24 hour day didn't exist back then. so what they mean by days is lenths of time. it cout be a billion earth years for each day we don't know. Allah simply gave the news to us in language we could understand. I like to think of adam and eve to be the first true humans. the series of evolution could simply be gods prototypes like and inventor before he reachs the working product. It's not like christianity where we have creatism and evolutionists. you can still believe in science as an explation of how god did it.

    want to know more about science and the Quran watch miracles of islam.
    It comes in eight parts on youtube it's well worth the watch.

    Hey, sister, the Quran doesn't say that animal were created after humans! Even jinn were created before Adam was and lived n the Earth years before Adam set foot on it. You might need to research a little more, I would be very surprised if animals were created after people though.

    As for the first question, Muhammad pbuh believed there was one God and rejected the idol worship of Arabia.

    The current evidence indicates that the only mammals around at that point in time were small proto-rodent creatures. When the dinosaurs dissapeared for whatever reason, those rodent creatures had many new food sources they could use, and slowly adapted to their environment and food source, so that we have the wide mammal diversity we have today.

    For those who aren't a fan of scientific explanations, watch jurassic park and then ask yourself whether humans could've lived alongside dinosaurs safely

    Re: 2 questions, Islam And Animals!?

    Muhammad was believed in Allah (God) and relized that what people did around kabah, was wrong.. he knew that a stone is not God and he stayed away from those rituals, until the jibril came to cave Hira

    Allah made angels , and jinn, after that He created animals to live on earth... and then He created mankind (Adam) to live on it..

    correct me if i am wrong..

    salam

    its a good question, and im not sure i have enough knowledge to give a correct answer in regards to timelines but i will give you some insight as to what i think...

    in regards to dinosaurs and humans living at the same time - why couldnt it be possible? all creatures are afraid of the human form and Allah swt made us at the top of the food chain so if we can control animals such as elephants - giraffes, lions etc which are how big and strong compared to humans then why couldnt we contol the T-Rex and Brontasauras of them day?

    if you thinking because of their size compared to a human being then the first humans were as tall as trees and just as strong, so the comparison would be the same as the aniamals roaming the earth nowadays.

    Re: 2 questions, Islam And Animals!?

    So you are actually telling me that the dinosaurs lived in the same time as human beings did?
    For example when Adam was created Dinosaurs were already there or had died?

    Devoted this isn't something we can ever know for fact.

    We simply don't know if Adam was around during the time of the dinosaurs.

    Build a time machine? Or maybe ask Allah in Jannah inshaallah.

    This isn't something we can find out through Islamic sources (as far as I know) and also there isn't much benefit in knowing if dinosaurs were here before or after Adam either.

    Other than that, I'm pretty sure dinosaurs became exist wayyy before humans were around! (Scientifically speaking, of course).

    I've always heard that dinosaurs exsisted millions of years ago, And there may have been, But the animals created after people, perhaps they were just like the ones we see today and maybe some that we don't see. I mean it's obvious that dinosaurs don't exsist now, or in any time we read about.

    ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT HAS BEEN CREATED AND WHEN IT WAS CREATED, we as humans can only assume/guess/thorize these things..

    Re: 2 questions, Islam And Animals!?

    Few fects.

    1- The size of humans were also bigger then we see now days
    2- Allah had created Adam then animals, before the earth been created these were living in JANNAT ...
    3- I was watching a documentary about the china on National documentary, those shines were selling artifacts(not real) by passing then through the X-Rey machine, and on verification they are showing the age of artifacts 500bc. so there is no assurity when they(DINOS) were living.

    Re: 2 questions, Islam And Animals!?

    My question is regarding the height of man when creation first came to be. I hear that ALLAH created man in extreme heights deeming them taller in stature to what we see today. Is this true and what is the evidence for this?
