As parents, we hope for our children to succeed in life (both here and Hereafter)--that they become righteous and Godfearing, have excellent character and praiseworthy manners, they are dutiful to their parents and merciful to their families, and useful to society, and a joy to the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasallam
A child who has achieved this is the one who gladdens the heart of his/her parents, and like a child who is mentioned in the following du'a:
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَٱجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
And those who say, "Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous."
[Qur’an, Al-Furqan 25:74]
Every child must aspire to fulfill the desires and hopes of his/her parents and constantly strive to be virtuous.
Narrated Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), that Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Whoever has pleased his parents, he has pleased Allah and whoever has angered his parents, he has angered Allah."
