So 40 is the age of Maturity?

Question

"And We have enjoined on man doing of good to his parents; with trouble did his mother bear him and with trouble did she bring him forth; and the bearing of him and the weaning of him was thirty months; until when he attains his maturity and reaches forty years, he says: My Lord! grant me that I may give thanks for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do good which pleases Thee and do good to me in respect of my offspring; surely I turn to Thee, and surely I am of those who submit." [46:15]

So does this mean any one dying before reaching 40 will go directly to heaven? Since they are not really mature yet.

Answer 1

when he is mature, namely, at his prime in terms of his strength, intellect and reasoning, the minimum [age] for which is thirty or thirty three years, and reaches forty years, that is, exactly [forty years], which is the maximum for [attaining] maturity.

Answer 2

age is obsolete

personal experience determines all

Answer 3

I think it means full maturity. Like you're completely developed. I'm not sure though...I think we mature over time. And perhaps by 40 we are fully mature. I'm not sure though.
