✦

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ

Rabbi awzi'ni an ashkura ni'matakal-lati an'amta 'alayya wa 'ala walidayya wa an a'mala salihan tardah

My Lord, inspire me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteous deeds that please You.

SahihQuran 27:19, 46:15

Sulayman (AS) said this upon seeing the ant and commanding the armies of jinn and mankind. At the peak of power, his first instinct was gratitude — for himself AND his parents. The inclusion of parents even in Sulayman's du'a (a king with superhuman abilities) shows that no amount of personal success removes the debt to your parents. Their blessings made yours possible.
