The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "There is a surah in the Quran of thirty ayat which intercedes for its companion until he is forgiven: Tabaarak alladhi biyadihil-mulk." (Sunan at-Tirmidhi, graded Hasan). Scholars recommend reciting it nightly before sleep.
Islam commands birr al-walidayn (dutifulness to parents). Allah says: "And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be dutiful to your parents." (Al-Isra 17:23). This includes obedience in what is permissible, kind speech, spending on them, and making dua for them.
