Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is loving one's parents and being humble to them a branch of loving Allah and His Messenger? This is a natural love that is not connected to the love of Allah and His Messenger. It is a natural love that Allah has placed in people's souls.
Answer:
Yes. As for its motive, it is either compassion, such as a father's love for his son, or mercy, such as a father's love for his son, or it is respect and reverence, such as a child's love for his father, or it is friendship and companionship, such as the love of a friend or companion, or it is desire, such as a husband's love for his wife or a person's love for food; in other words, its motive is desire. Yes.
