Give glad tidings to the strangers

"Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange (like it began), so give glad tidings to the strangers."

Imam Ibn ul Qayyim al Jawziyyah said about this Hadith:

These praiseworthy people are called strangers since they are a small minority among mankind.


Thus, Muslims are strangers among mankind; the true believers are strangers among Muslims.

And the scholars are strangers among the true believers.

And the followers of the Sunnah, those that clear themselves from all peoples of innovation, are likewise strangers.


[Imam Ibn al Qayyim RahimahuAllah]
