Sidrat al-Muntaha

The Sidrat al-Muntaha উচ্চারণⓘ (Arabic: سِدْرَة ٱلْمُنْتَهَىٰ, romanized: Sidrat al-Muntahā, lit. 'Sidr Tree of the Farthest Boundary') in Islamic tradition is a large Cedrus or lote tree (Ziziphus spina-christi) that marks the utmost boundary in the seventh heaven, where the knowledge of the angels ends. During the Isra' and Mi'raj, when Muhammad entered Heaven alive, Muhammad is said to have travelled with the Archangel Gabriel to the tree where Gabriel stopped. Beyond the tree, God instructed Muhammad about the salah (daily prayers).

The Lote Tree of the Furthest Boundary is also used to refer to the Manifestation of God several times in Bahá’í literature.
