Something I learnt from Daddy

One thing I have learnt from Dad is to say Ya'Allah! Please forgive us for all the sins we have committed knowingly and unknowingly.
Growing up, I didn't really understand cause I be like how can one commit a sin unknowingly until I started studying Islam myself and I found out we have actually do commit sins that are strictly prohibited in Islam unknowingly and it's advisable to keep up the habit of cleansing ourselves before making dua. We shouldn't just be starting dua if Allah grant me, it should be Allah I am sorry for this and that.
We commit sins through our eyes; the bad things we see/watch, our hands; the bad things we touch,our ears;the bad things we ear and  our mouths;the bad things we say.
Just like watching phonograph is a sin that's how exploring through the TL,viewing half naked people is a sin. It might not be you posting those pictures but it's your eyes viewing them and they will testify.So many examples.
Anything  bad we see, hear, touch or say knowingly or unknowingly is haram. Some things in this world have become natural and as a Muslim we have to be cautious and always seek forgiveness of sins knowingly/unknowingly everyday before we start to ask Allah for stuff.
I read a book and it says sometimes Allah will delay your dua cause of the haram we see, hold,hear or say unknowingly and we don't ask for forgiveness.
May Allah SWT forgive us of every sin we've committed knowingly/unknowingly.
Let's not forget to make this dua everyday.
Let's not forget to be cautious. The way we are in a relationship with our spouses and we don't want to offend them and all that, let's do better for Allah, checking ourselves everytime just cause we want Alllah to be pleased with us. Sallam
