Umar (rad) said, “Don’t be neglectful of being loved.” (Al Bidayah Wa Al Nihaya)
Beware! don’t be heedless with regards to love. To receive love from someone is great thing. Because when you are loved by people they will listen to you. And if they hate you they will not listen to you. If the son hates father, he will not listen to him. This is why its said to spirtually and morally train your children.
Children are a trust. And they are to be trained with softness and compassion. Honor your children, this is in hadith.
Prophet
said “Respect your children…” (Sunan Ibn Majah 3671, Weak -Scholar differ on use of weak hadith)
This is so they have love and respect for parents. Then they will obey their parents.
