I entered Islam, but my parents are still disbelievers. What is the extent of the natural love that is obligatory for them?

The questioner:
Yes. May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: I entered the religion of Islam, and my parents are still disbelievers. I want to know the extent of the natural love that is in my heart for them, which does not conflict with the hatred for them in Allah.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Mujadila 58:22] So there should be no love for them in your heart. But this does not prevent you from being dutiful to them, being kind to them, and calling them to Islam. This is obligatory upon you, and they are disbelievers. It is obligatory upon you to be dutiful to them, to be kind to them, and to call them to Islam. This is obligatory upon you. As for love, no. Yes.
Yes. May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: I entered the religion of Islam, and my parents are still disbelievers. I want to know the extent of the natural love that is in my heart for them, which does not conflict with the hatred for them in Allah.
The Shaykh:
You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred
لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ
