Dutch model and singer Donny Roelvink has embraced Islam, joining the growing number of people converting to the faith. Donny’s journey towards Islam began after a series of life-altering experiences, starting with a severe accident during a shoot that left him with broken ribs and a punctured lung. Following this ordeal, he was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment.
These challenging experiences led Donny to seek spirituality, ultimately leading him to Islam. He observed Ramzan this year and recently took his Shahadah, marking his official entry into the Muslim community. Pictures of Donny taking his Shahadah in the mosque circulated on social media platforms, garnering widespread attention.
It is no coincidence that Muslims call Allah the ultimate planner. The English empire in previous centuries forcibly conquered distant Muslim lands as far as Pakistan and Afghanistan. Today the Muslims come and conquer them peacefully without weapons in their own homes. This 21-year-old Scot without being pressured by anyone defected to the army of Allah. He knelt and under the smiling gaze of his instructor repeats the words that bring him further and further away from Christianity and from the life he had until now. Instead of wearing the kilt and going to a bar for a whiskey, he chose the Muslim thobe and abstinence from alcohol. Yes, Allah is the great planner, and with his plans some are pleased and some others - his opponents - lose sleep.
