The answer

All people experience the stupor of death, as Allah Almighty says: "And the stupor of death will come in truth; that is what you were trying to evade," and as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no god but Allah; indeed, death has stupors." The people of Paradise will be equal in their ages, being thirty or thirty-three years old. Parents will meet their children in Paradise, and Allah will raise those of lower status to the level of those higher in honor, as stated in His saying: "And those who believed and whose offspring followed them in faith — We will join with them their offspring." The children of Muslims will be with their parents in Paradise, and their being "birds of Paradise" means that they are not accountable.
