A Son's Duty: The Responsibilities of a Son

In every person's life, there are some relationships that are formed at birth — mother, father, brother, sister. Among these, one of the most important relationships is that of a son. A son is not just a word, but a responsibility, a hope, and often the backbone of a family.

Being a Son is a Blessing

Being a son is not an achievement, but a blessing — and it is every son's duty to make that blessing meaningful. The sacrifices and struggles that parents go through all their lives deserve respect, and the first and foremost duty of a son is to become their support in old age.

A Son is More Than a Breadwinner

Society often sees a son merely as a "source of income" — someone who earns, supports the household, and takes care of aging parents. But a son is more than just someone who earns — he is the emotional anchor, the bearer of traditions, and a strong thread that keeps relationships tied together.

A Son is Still a Son When...

- He is working far from home but still calls his mother every day.

- He is going through his own hardships but doesn't compromise on his father's medical needs.

- He puts his sister’s dreams above his own when it comes to her marriage.

- He becomes the strongest support for his parents in their old age.

Being a Son Isn’t Easy, But It’s Not Impossible

In today’s fast-paced world, a good son is one who stays connected with his family, understands his parents’ emotions, and ensures they never feel alone — no matter the situation.

A Son is Made by His Deeds, Not Just by Birth

Every son has the power to bring pride to his parents through his actions. It’s not necessary to be rich or hold a high position — if you respect your parents, care for them, and spend time with them, you are a true son.

Being a son is not just a relationship — it is a promise:

A promise that a mother’s love and a father’s hard work will never go in vain.

If we understand and fulfill this promise, the foundation of relationships in society will become even stronger.

"A true son is not the one who is merely born, but the one who stands by his parents in their old age."
