In Surah Abasa V34 to 38, Allah swt describes for us.
80:34 يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
on that Day every person will flee from their own siblings,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
80:35 وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيه٣٥
and ˹even˺ their mother and father
80:36 وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ٣٦
and ˹even˺ their spouse and children.
80:37 لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيه٣٧
For then everyone will have enough concern of their own.
80:38 وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ ٣٨
On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
It is very clear that we will all be occupied with ourselves.
We will go to our brothers and sisters, our mother and father,
But we will find everyone busy with their own concerns.
Of course, the pious will have bright faces.
May Allah grant us good relationships in this world with our brothers, sisters, parents, and children.
Let us maintain balance in our relationships with our spouse, children, in-laws, and parents.
May Allah (SWT) forgive us and have mercy on us.
