Explanation of the Hadith: Islam Began as a Stranger

Question:
He also asks a section about the hadith ,

Answer:
It is an authentic hadith. Islam began as a stranger, and a stranger is one whose people are few; he is a stranger because of the small number of his people. Islam was a stranger because of the small number of its people. It began with two men: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him). It will return in the end of times as a stranger, just as it began. The Muslims and those who claim to be Muslim will increase, but the correct Islam that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) brought will be a stranger in the end of times, even if those who claim to be Muslim are many. They will have religious innovations (bid'ah), they will have acts of associating partners with Allah (shirk), and they will have superstitions. This is what makes the correct Islam a stranger in the end of times. So, happiness is for the strangers. Happiness was said to be Paradise, or it was said to be a tree in Paradise, for the strangers who hold fast to the religion despite its strangeness, despite the fewness of those who hold fast to it, the multitude of those who oppose it, and the multitude of enemies. Yes.
