Peace be upon you,
Allah the Almighty says: "Our Lord, and admit them to the Gardens of Eternity which You have promised them, and whoever is righteous among their forefathers, their spouses, and their descendants. Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
This verse indicates that there is a supplication and a good intercession asking Allah to admit the repentant and those who follow the path of truth and righteousness into Paradise, fulfilling His promise that Paradise is for the believers and those who join them ("whoever is righteous among their forefathers, their spouses, and their descendants"), thus bringing joy to their eyes and completing their happiness.
This shows that Allah gathers the believers with their families in Paradise. Allah says: "As for the one who is given his record in his right hand, he will be judged with an easy account and will return to his people in happiness."
In the book 'Bihar al-Anwar' by Allama Majlisi, it is mentioned that this means that those who are righteous among their families will be joined with them, even if they do not reach their level of virtue, as a sign of their honor. This indicates that rank can be elevated through intercession, or that those described with such qualities are associated with one another due to their kinship and connection in entering Paradise, increasing their comfort. It also shows that mere lineage is not beneficial without righteousness. In the book 'Tafsir al-Tibyan' by Sheikh Al-Tusi, it is indicated that the reward for the obedient to Allah is their joy in seeing their loved ones among them, as they rejoice in entering Paradise with the righteous among their forefathers, spouses, and descendants, which includes their children, and this necessitates their happiness with this news.
May you be successful in all good.
