(Web Desk): Florian Rudolf Gijs Drenth, a 29-year-old lawyer from Utrecht, Netherlands, converted to Islam after a 10 years of research.

Born in a Catholic family, he said Islam gave him a sense of real purpose.

“Life in the West can be empty in some ways. Islam offers a real purpose and meaning,” Drenth said. He added that many people in the West are searching for meaning, which has led them to Islam.

Drenth stated that through a commission he helped establish in Utrecht, he has facilitated the conversion of many people. He emphasized that the month of Ramadan holds a special significance for him, and Islam has profoundly guided his life.
