On the basis of fresh documents, the paper deals with the Dutch convert to Islam Mohammed Ali van Beetem (d. 1938), who travelled to Egypt in 1934 and established ties with Muslim reformists, such as Muhhib al-Din al-Khatib (1886–1969). It sheds new light on Van Beetem’s leading role among Indonesian communities in the Netherlands, his conversion to Islam, his attempts to establish a mosque and a Muslim graveyard in The Hague, his relations with Muslim reformists, and participation in the first European Muslim Congress in Geneva under the auspices of the Druze Prince Shakib Arslan in 1935.
