Parental love is a deep, sincere blessing—an expression of trust from Allah, who has entrusted children to your care.
True love for them is not based on attachment or self-satisfaction but on a higher purpose: raising them for the sake of Allah.
This means being patient in hardship, including loss, recognizing that they are ultimately Allah’s gifts and belong to Him.
It also means being mindful of how you raise them—not indulging them out of emotional attachment, but guiding them firmly with the goal of helping them reach Paradise.
Love them for Allah, interact with them for His sake, and teach them to love you for the same reason.
