Does the Almighty’s saying: "And those who believed and whose offspring followed them in faith—We will join their offspring with them, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds" mean only fathers and not mothers?

Whoever dies as a believer, and his offspring, parents, and wife were also believers, then Allah has promised to gather them with him in Paradise, and to raise the lowest in rank among them to the rank of the highest. The Quranic verses confirm that Allah will join the offspring of a believer to him in Paradise, even if their deeds are less than those of their parents, out of honor for them and to gladden their eyes. This includes both fathers and mothers, because the phrase "those who believed" encompasses both males and females.
