The Sidratul Muntahaa is located on a level lower than the Kursi. This place is the final limit of the Malaaikah. They are not permitted to traverse beyond this point. At this point is located a tree of indescribable splendour, size and beauty. It is a tree of Noor(Celestial Light). All fortunate souls obtain their peace, happiness and tranquility from this source. At all times this Tree of Noor is surrounded by Malaaikah in the way in which a lamp is surrounded by mouths. Belief in the existence of Sidratul Muntahaa constitutes part of Imaan . Of all created beings only Rasoolullah (SAW) was permitted to journey beyond Sidratul Muntahaa on the night of Mi'raj.
