Adoption
Full legal-standing sonship with inheritance rights, not a lesser or symbolic status. Note carefully in teaching material that this is a legal-relational adoption, not a claim that God ‘has children’ in the ontological sense the Qur’an denies (112:3) — the referent is believers’ new status, not God’s nature.
