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 (ï·º) 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 (ï·º) 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).
A renowned scholar Abu Abdullah al Qurtubi talks about the conflict of the location of Sirda Tul Muntaha according to the above-mentioned narrations,
He says in the explanation of the verse عند سدرة امنتهى  of surah Al Najam in his Book (Tafseer al Qurtubi) “Reconciliation is possible between the two apparently conflicting versions in that its root is on the sixth heaven and its branches are spread on the seventh heaven.” Allah knows better.
