    Sidra refers to Lotte Tree while Muntaha means the point of end  Thus Sidra is a tree situated on the point where the access to everything ends. which is in the sixth heaven as narrated in the sahih Hadith narrated on the authority of Abdullah (b. Umar) says:

    “When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey, he came to Sidrah Al-Muntaha, which is in the sixth heaven. That is where everything that comes up from below ends, and where everything that comes down from above until it is taken from it…..” (sahih Muslim:173)

    while according to another narration of Abbas bin Malik it is situated in the seventh heaven, Malik says, “Malik bin Sasaa said that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) described to them his Night Journey saying, when I went (over the seventh heaven), there I saw Abraham. Gabriel said (to me), ‘This is your father; pay your greetings to him.’ So I greeted him and he returned the greetings to me and said, ‘You are welcomed, O pious son and pious Prophet.’ Then I was made to ascend to Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. the Lote Tree of the utmost boundary) Behold! Its fruits were like the jars of Hajr (i.e. a place near Medina) and its leaves were as big as the ears of elephants. Gabriel said, ‘This is the Lote Tree of the utmost boundary.”) (Sahih Bukhari:3887).

    All the messengers and prophets, peace be upon them, have always taught us about the Hereafter. The simple understanding is that this world is a testing ground, and Allah has sent us here to be tested, to see who has faith and does good deeds. Just as Allah has created us here, He will also resurrect us on the Day of Judgment after our death, and we will be held accountable for our actions before Allah.

    Those who believed in the teachings of the prophets followed their obedience, and performed righteous deeds will be successful, while those who were disobedient will fail. The successful ones will be blessed with eternal paradise, and the unsuccessful ones will enter Hell and endure painful punishment.

    The real home is the Hereafter, and this world is no more than a transient stop in this journey. Death is not the end but a transition from one phase to another. There are eight gates of paradise, and the distance between the two doors of paradise is like that between Mecca and Medina or Mecca and Basra.

    The first group to enter paradise will shine like the full moon, and those who follow them will shine even brighter than the stars in the sky. The people of paradise will have no needs; there will be no phlegm or spitting.

    They will have golden utensils, and their sweat will smell like musk. Their incense burners will be made of a special kind of wood, and there will be no disagreements or hatred among them. They will be like one person, like the likeness of Adam, who was sixty feet tall. They will glorify Allah morning and evening.

    The people of paradise will enter paradise without hair or beards, at the age of thirty-three. Their faces will radiate with honor, light, beauty, and freshness. You will see the radiance of blessings on their faces. If a woman from paradise were to peek into the world, it would illuminate the space between heaven and earth, and her scent would be better than all the worldly blessings. In paradise, there will be no unmarried person.
