The beginning of Islam was with estrangement
Hadith 57
وَبِهَذَا، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا وَسَيَعُودُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا)).
Narrated with the same chain, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Islam began as something strange, and it will return to being strange at its end."
