Hello, I am Yusuf Damar. I started to fast in this Ramadan like my family. I learned that the fast isn’t just about being hungry. One day I was playing a game with my friends. My friend said bad words to me. Then he pushed me and tried to start a fight. I was so angry. I raised my hand to hit my friends.

At that time, my mother was watching us from the window. My mum said to me “Don’t make Yusuf. You are fasting. You shouldn’t break anyone’s heart while fasting.” When my mother said that, I stopped immediately. Because fasting means self-control.
