Majority Rules?Think Again

In the eyes of Allah, numbers have no value. His Majesty is not affected if only 1 person were to enter Jannah or 1000. It is reported in an authentic hadith that most of mankind will enter hell. Also in the Quran Allah never praises the majority. Rather, the majority is usually used when referring to disobedience. When Allah refers to the grateful ones and to the believing ones, He says they are few. My point is, if you are the only one standing on a principle you know is right - stay strong. People may not understand why you are doing or saying what you are,  because thats not what the majority does or says - know that in the eyes of Allah SWT, one steadfast momin is dearer than anyone; know that believers will be of the few; know that grateful ones will be of the few; dwellers of Jannah will be of the few; those who get the prophet SAW's company will be of the few; those who see Allah will be of the few. One wise man used to pay Oh Allah make me of the few! How wise was he and how foolish are we wanting to fit in when we were made to stand out!

ps: i will get reference of the hadith and possibly a clearer ref of the wise man in mention here.
