			And let's get started with our lesson today. So today we are already two thirds finished with our
Ramadan readiness test. So first we started off with the spiritual fitness test. And then we went on
to completing the physical fitness test. And now today we're going to be doing the social fitness
test. Now this test is going to be seeing how socially productive you are. And the link for this
test you can find on our show notes. And the specific Show Notes for this episode that you're
listening to now is productive Muslim podcast.com slash s two e five. Now on a side note there is
also a very interesting article that has been written by Mohammed Faris and it's called the
		

			spirituality verse productivity debate during Ramadan. So this is a thought provoking article which
speaks about the debate between Muslim professionals that happens every year regarding Ramadan so
the divide is between the spiritual camp and the pragmatic camp. So the spiritual camp says that
Ramadan is the month of spirituality. So first, we should focus all our efforts on fasting prayers,
charity, different acts of worship and take time out of our work if possible in order to make the
most out of Ramadan. The pragmatic camp argues that we should be practical about Ramadan and to
reduce our spiritual commitment so that we can maintain productivity in the workplace. So this is a
		

			interesting read do check it out and I will include a link to this in our show notes as well. And
remember when you're doing the social fitness test today, do take note of any questions that trigger
your thoughts or make you realize something and let us know Once this is completed in our show
notes. So again, to sum it up, go ahead to our show notes productive Muslim podcast.com slash s to E
five take the social fitness test. So that's all for me today. I'll speak to you again tomorrow
inshallah. Until then, remember, work hard and be sincere
