(From Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Tempo TV and Kral Karadeniz TV, October 21st, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also turn to young people. That is a feature of his, that Hazrat Mahdi (as) has young followers.
OKTAR BABUNA: Insha’Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: The old are very few in number. He will appear with 314 people, including women. But the Prophet (saas) says that like the People of the Cave they will awake in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Some will abandon their families, but few followers will do that. Look, this is emphasized. Because the People of the Cave were also few in number, and only a few followers will leave their families.
OKTAR BABUNA: Insha’Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: Our Prophet (saas) has noted this. He resembles Hizir (al-Khidr) (as). People will regard him as dangerous when they look. They will say he is a risk and keep their distance. That is why their number is only 314 people. If, as Cübbeli Hodja says, all the angels could be seen in the sky, constantly saying that so-and-so is Hazrat Mahdi (as), then the number of his followers will not remain at 314. The whole world will follow him. Because the angels say so.
PRESENTER: What is special about the number 314? Does it has a numerological significance, or is there some other explanation?
ADNAN OKTAR: These numbers, 313 and 314, are secret numbers. Even the Qur’an speaks of a cycle of dominion of three hundred plus nine.
ADNAN OKTAR: 309 years in the story of Kahf, in other words that of the People of the Cave. The number 309 is mentioned in the story of Kahf. Three hundred plus nine, or 309. So 313 is also significant, of course. It is the number of the people of Badr. And the number of those who crossed the river with Talut, 313. Allah deliberately keeps the numbers low. That is a law of Allah. For example, He makes a whole human being out of a miniscule sperm. He created the whole universe, this world, from nothing out of zero volume and infinite density.
Just to match His glory and show His power. If Allah wished, He could make matter out of matter, but He made it out of nothing, out of emptiness. He shows His might. He will make Hazrat Mahdi (as) the least expected person. They will say, this is just an ordinary person. And the same goes for his followers, they will say they are ordinary people, flawed people, and people on the wrong path.
It is not me saying it, but they will make even nastier claims perhaps. They may say things we could never think of or give voice to. That is the reason for the small number. But Allah will still change the whole system in His capacity as the al-Qahhar, the All Compelling Subduer and al-Jabbar, the Powerful, the Irresistible. The power of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a devastating one. It can never be withstood. Hazrat Mahdi (as) cannot be killed, for instance. Cübbeli Hodja also says that even if they launch tanks and rockets against Hazrat Mahdi (as) they cannot touch him.
PRESENTER: And it will be the same with the Messiah.
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, the Messiah is the same. You cannot martyr the Messiah. And Hazrat Mahdi (as)... they cannot be martyred.
PRESENTER: 314 people.
ADNAN OKTAR: Not his, he has 1400 followers.
PRESENTER: 1400...
ADNAN OKTAR: The Messiah has 1400. Their numbers are greater.
