Is reincarnation real, and why wasn't it mentioned in Islam despite evidence of its existence? And is the Quran's not mentioning dinosaurs considered a deficiency in it?

The belief in transmigration (metempsychosis) is delirium and falsehood. It contradicts the Quran, the , reason, and sound human nature, and it is among superstitions. As for the absence of dinosaurs in the Quran and Sunnah, it is not a deficiency, for the Quran is a book of guidance that directs people to ponder over creations as proof of God's power and greatness. It is not intended to enumerate the types of existing or extinct animals.
