Description

The Arabic root كهل (k-h-l) refers to the stage of middle age or maturity, specifically describing a person who has reached their prime years between youth and old age. In the Quranic context, this root appears in Surah Al-Imran (3:46) where Prophet Isa (Jesus) is described as speaking to people both in infancy and in maturity (kahlan), highlighting the miraculous nature of his prophethood across different life stages. The term emphasizes completeness and the full development of physical and intellectual capabilities, representing the peak period of human strength and wisdom.
