ضبط النفس

Welcome to BBCe! and our second Ramadan programme.

This week we're talking about self-restraint ضبط النفس.

We ask people in Cairo and London, "Do you have much self-restraint?" هل لديك ما يكفي من ضبط النفس؟

Here are some of the answers:

Well I have a lot more self-restraint now I have children.

I don't think I have a lot of self-restraint. I can't watch a little bit of television, I have to watch it all evening.

We also ask people "Can you tell us about a time when you've given something up? هل بإمكانكم أن تخبرونا عن مرة تخليتم فيها عن شيء ما/امتنعتم عن شيء ما

Here are some of the answers.

I'm trying to stop smoking at the moment - 'cos my wife and I are having a baby in a couple of weeks' time.

I started to smoke.....I was trying hard to stop that. And I went on and I really gave up on smoking.

Sometimes the circumstances push you to do these things again although you've given them up.

Sean and Karim talk about the language to do with self-control التحكم في النفس and self-restraint ضبط النفس. And there's a saying in English: Where there's a will there's a way! إذا صدق العزم صح السبيل/إذا كانت هناك إرادة فهناك سبيل

Do you have much self-restraint? Can you tell us about a time when you've given something up? Write to us in English.

هل لديك الكثير من ضبط النفس؟ هل بإمكانك أن تخبرنا عن مرة أو مناسبة امتنعت فيها عن شيء؟
