Adoption

Anak angkat (adopted child) is a culturally comfortable, unstigmatized concept in Malay society, which gives this doctrine an unusually low-friction cultural bridge compared to most terms in this package. The remaining risk is theological rather than social: teaching material must still clarify this describes believers’ legal-relational status with full inheritance rights, not a claim that God has literal offspring, which tawhid forbids.
