How can one remain steadfast on the path of truth while feeling like a stranger in these times, and is this considered among the signs of our being "the strangers" mentioned in the Hadith, noting the changing circumstances of those committed to faith?

Islam began as something strange and will return as something strange, so blessed are the strangers who reform when people become corrupt. They are righteous individuals amidst a prevalence of evil. These strangers are the happiest of people and hold the highest rank after the prophets, for Allah suffices them and grants them victory. You should not feel alienated by the scarcity of those who tread the path of truth, for the truth remains, upheld by a manifest group. These strangers are few, but they are the true people of Allah. Their strangeness among people does not make them feel lonely, because they are upon the truth. Seek out these strangers, adhere to them, and cooperate with them in good deeds, and supplicate frequently for steadfastness upon the truth.
