Glad Tidings to the Strangers

Islam began as something strange and it will leave as something strange. This is not an excuse to be unusual without a reason, rather that as Muslims our practices are out of the ordinary; we pray when others sleep and we fast while others eat. This is why Glad Tidings are given to the Strangers; when it is unusual to be righteous, Muslims stand out as the pious.
