HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)
The Qur'an does not explain exactly how much time the
young men spent in the cave. Instead, the duration of this period
is implied by the words "for a number of years". People's guess
at this period however was rather high: three hundred and nine
years. Allah says:

They stayed in their Cave for three hundred years and
added nine. Say: "Allah knows best how long they
stayed. The Unseen of the heavens and the earth
belongs to Him. How perfectly He sees, how well He
hears! They have no protector apart from Him. Nor
does He share His rule with anyone." (Surat al-Kahf:
25-26)

Under normal conditions, people obviously cannot sleep for
such a long period. This sleep, therefore, may not be the type of
sleep with which we are familiar. Perhaps they were taken into
another dimension, one in which time and space do not apply,
and were later sent back to earth.
Just like people waking up from sleep, these people also
returned to life. In a similar way, the Prophet Jesus (as) will
return to life when he comes back to earth and, after fulfilling the
honourable responsibility imposed on him by Allah, and, as a
requirement of the verse; He said: "On it [earth] you will live
and on it die, and from it you will be brought forth," (Surat al-
A'raf: 25) he will die on earth, like every other human being and
Allah knows the truth.
