#21 Productivity in Quarantine – Interview with Maarten Van Elst (Muslim Fit)

“Br Maarten discovered Islam through his search for self-improvement, he was inspired by Islam’s teachings, that amongst other, promotes spiritual, social, physical and mental health. After converting to Islam in 2011, he didn’t see much of what was being preached actually being practised within the Muslim community. So combining his own hands-on knowledge from competitive bodybuilding (pre-islam), years of personal training and coaching experience and medical background (Maarten is a nurse anaesthetist), he felt the need to launch Muslim Fit.www.muslimfit.com Without further delay, here’s our conversation.” Excerpt from www.Muslimfit.com

Welcome to another interview-based episode of The Optimized Muslim podcast. This was recorded on Friday 17th April. it’s quite a wide-ranging conversation with regards to our well-being and productive through these times. It took on a bit of a different direction than I anticipated but I think you’ll benefit from that as we discuss the nuance involved in advising people and how the pressure to be productive is not suitable advice for all.

Dear viewers, if this content makes you think, you find it beneficial or it improves your deen and life in any way, as a favor, I ask that you make dua for the success of this project. It’s small at present and just myself but I have a vision for it alhamdulillah.

Secondly, please share a screenshot on your social media or better yet send it to that one friend that you know thinks in a similar manner and would benefit. if you guide towards a good action you get the reward for that action and in doing so we can benefit from one of the few positives of this hyper-connected social media World in what I call the good deed multiplier effect.

Please also rate the podcast on whatever listening platform you use, so it is promoted to more people in sha Allah, salaam Alaykum

Mention me in your duas if you found this to be of use.💚
