can any muslim tell me if it is wrong that i love my father the most?
i never felt the same love for anyone else not even my mother. I do care for her but do not love her. I can not live without my dad but can without my mom. So does it make me a bad person?. If i am given a choice i shall always choose my dad above everything. I can not help it. Since i was very little i only remember being with my dad and him taking care of me. So i love him more than anything. But quran and sunnah is full with instructions to love your mother most and put her above everything. But i can never do it. For me my dad is like mom. My mother gave me birth and fed me until i was one. But i do not remember it. Only i remember is my dad, from the age of 3 onwards, he took care of me!
Love is a natuaral thing and can not be imposed but does it make me a sinful muslim? I shall always take care of my mom but i can not love him like i love my father :(

I'm assuming you're a girl in this case. Girls are naturally more attracted to their fathers, while boys are more attracted to their mothers. I'm not taking a stab at Islam, but the Quran is very "male-centric," and was created with the male in mind. Women didn't and still don't have any rights, and thus that's why the Quran told everyone to love their mothers because boys are more attracted to their mothers. So, because of that, you love your father and that is and should be considered extremely normal. Religious sayings were created hundreds of years ago and thus many of the things they say don't make sense when applied because society has changed. So do what you do, remember, in the end, God is always with you
