ADNAN OKTAR: That is because, when the dajjal (anti-messiah) appears if Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) does not appear; the system of the dajjal (anti-messiah) would have no significance. When Hazrat Mahid (pbuh) appears, if the system of the dajjal does not appear, then the system of the Mahdi would have no significance either. I mean it would not have a meaning in the sense of striving on the path of Allah. The two should appear simultaneously. The system of the Mahdi means repairing the damage done by the system of the Sufyan over the years. But they attempt to put forward an old and slothful, puny and weak understanding of the system of the Mahdi. I mean they have passivizated Muslims inconceivably, they have employed a great engineering plan by saying [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be a] "collective identity".  That is because the man looks at the collective identity, there is nothing that a collective identity could do. Whereas prophets have always come as individuals and people have been gathered around him, there had been an excitement, fervor and the moral values of Islam have thus prevailed in the world, have thus progressed. For instance Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh) has come and people had gathered around him, the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) came and people gathered around the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). But they did not gather around the collective identity of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) was present there as an individual, the students of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) were there and there had been a collective identity that they constituted.  But the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) had definitely been there at that period. The same with the Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh), Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh) is not a collective identity, he is an individual and consequently the dominion is established when he is healthy and alive. The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) as well had dominated when he was healthy and alive insha'Allah.
