عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: بدأ الإسلام غريبا وسيعود كما بدأ غريبا فطوبى للغرباء (صحيح مسلم الرقم: 232)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Islam had commenced like a stranger in the world (outwardly seeming like the odd one out in society), and soon before Qiyaamah, Islam will again be seen as a stranger (among the people). Glad tidings to those who are regarded as strangers (on account of them remaining steadfast on Deen and opposing the ways of the kuffaar).”
