Did Jesus teach people in an old age?
5:110 When Allah said, "O Jesus, son of Mary, remember My Favor upon you and upon your mother when I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit, you spoke to the people in the cradle (l-mahdi) and (in) maturity (wakahlan). And when I taught you the Book and the wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you make from clay like the shape of the bird by My permission, then you breath into it, and it becomes a bird by My permission; and you heal those born blind and the leper by My permission; and when you bring forth the dead by My permission. And when I restrained the Children of Israel from you when you came to them with the clear proofs, then those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but clear magic."
(The root of “kahlan” (maturity) is “Kaf-ha-Lam”, and it means “be full-grown, be of the age when a person’s hair becomes intermixed with hoariness, be of the age between thirty and sixty years or of middle age, etc”, so it is correct to say that Jesus also spoke to the people when he was full-grown / adult / mature / totally developed or grown)(Other Verses of the Qur’an do not confirm the specific age in which he spoke to the people, but an interpretation is that “maturity” opposes to “cradle” (5:110); in other words, and according to the meaning of “kahlan”, “full-grown” opposes to “still growing”, rather than referring to “baby” vs. “old age”; this interpretation is confirmed by the meaning of “mahdi” (cradle), its root is “Miim-ha-Dal” and it means “to prepare or establish, to gain or earn, seek to gain, to spread or be spread, etc”, so a baby is still “spreading / growing”, while “in maturity” is full-grown, so there is no mistake in the Qur’an)(Allah knows best)
3:46 And he will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity (wakahlan); and (he will be) of the righteous."
11:72 She said, "Woe to me, shall I bear a child while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old/aged man (shaykhan)? Indeed, this is surely an amazing thing."
(This Verse confirms that there is distinction between middle age and old age, by using a different word; “Shiin-Ya-Kha” means “to be old”, “old / aged man”)(If Verse 3:46 was to imply “old age”, then the word “Shiin-Ya-Kha” would have been more specific or clear, but Verse 3:46 uses the word “Kaf-ha-Lam” instead, because it is in the sense of “be full-grown”, so there is no mistake in the Qur’an)(Allah knows best)
28:23 And when he came to the water of Madyan, he found there a group of men watering, and he found besides them two women keeping back. He said, "What is the matter with both of you?" They said, "We cannot water until the shepherds take away; and our father is a very old/aged man (shaykhun)."
2:266 Would any of you like to have a garden of date-palms and grapevines, underneath which rivers flow, and therein he has all (kinds) of fruits, and he is stricken with old age (l-kibaru) and his children are weak, then it is struck with whirlwind, in it is fire then it is burnt. Thus Allah makes (His) Signs clear to you so that you may ponder.
(Another word that can be used or interpreted as “old age”, according to the context of the Verse, is “kibaru”; its root is “Kaf-Ba-Ra”, and it means “be great / large / big, to make a thing great, grow in estimation or rank or dignity, to exceed the actions of others, endeavor or seek to become great, etc. kabira / yakburu: to be exceed anyone in age, become stout and tall, grow big, become great, etc.”. But these words are not used in regard to Jesus)(Allah knows best)
3:40 He said, "My Lord, how can I have a son, and verily I have reached old age (l-kibaru) and my wife is barren?" He said, "Thus; Allah does what He wills."
