Abstrak	This socio-legal narrative investigates the journey from biological to societal filiation undertaken by Islamic and international law regimes in their endeavors to ensure a child s right to name and identity. Combining a discussion of filiation a status-assigning process- with adoption and kafala (fostering) as status-transferring mechanisms, it highlights a nuanced hierarchy relating to these processes within Muslim communities and Muslim state practices. It questions whether evolving conceptions of a child s rights to name and iden tity represent a paradigm shift from no status if born out of wedlock toward full status offered through national and international law and Muslim state and community practices. The article challenges the dominant (formal, legal) position within the Islamic legal traditions that nasab (filiation) is obtainable through marriage alone. Highlighting inherent plurality within the Islamic legal traditions, it demonstrates how Muslim state practice and actual prac tices of Muslim communities on the subject are neither uniform nor necessarily in accordance with stated doctrinal positions of the juristic schools to which they subscribe. Simultaneously, the paper challenges some exaggerated gaps between Islamic and Western conceptions of children s rights, arguing that child-centric resources in Islamic law tend to be suppressed by a universalist Western human-rights discourse. Tracing common threads through discourses within both legal traditions aimed at ensuring children a name and identity, it demonstrates that the rights values in the United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child resonate with preexisting values within the Islamic legal traditions.
