The following question was asked in the Imam Mahdi's private direct messages:

"A Question for the Imam: Since the destruction of the dinosaurs happened during the time of the prophet Abraham peace be upon him, so how Noah peace be upon him carried the dinosaurs with him on board the ship, during the flood? Especially that science confirms the fact of (drowning) the dinosaurs in the era of (Noah) peace be upon him, during the flood. And the excavations of the fossils also prove scientifically this thing!"

In the name of Allah the All Merciful, the Most Merciful, prayer of forgiveness and peace be upon Allah’s messengers altogether and whoever followed them with goodness til the day of judgement, after this..

Indeed the dinosaurs capable of swimming in the seas and it is considered amphibians but it swims on the surface of the sea and can not last much inside it; in fact it takes the oxygen the full of its lungs and it dives into the water of the sea for fishing, so it remains for limited time under the water’s surface, then it appears over the surface to inhale the oxygen.

As for planet of chastisement, verily it annihilated them altogether whether the ones were on land or in the sea, the fact it can not remain underwater for a long period because it suffocate, and whatever appeared on the surface has perished from the stones of planet of chastisement, and the important is not one animal of it remained for a divinely wisdom.

But they lack that knowledge about the dinosaurs that it is from the wild-land animals but as that it is amphibious swims in the sea.

And in regard to the wild-land animals that takes for itself burrows has survived in its burrows under ground’s surface or in the caves, and some of it perished, and others remained carrying the offspring, none got extinct except the dinosaurs to the fact it does not take of itself burrows nor can climb the mountains to hide in caves; in fact it always walk on prairies (the open wild plains).

It was ravaging aimlessly killing whatever it finds in its path even if it was full (not hungry); in fact it kills whatever it finds it and leaves even though it was full (being satisfied; not hungry). And it was of the vilest of animals at all, verily even the lions it devours it, and it kills with its teeth, with its claws, with its tail; in fact its tail is long and it squeezes with it its prey as the python squeezes its prey, also at the same time it kills another prey with its long teeth, and at the same time it kills another prey with its claws! Surely it has long claws as knives.

And peace be upon the messengers, and praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds. Your brother the Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni.
