Location of the Lote-Tree

Question

assalamuailkum . i would like to know which tree is called or consider as the Lote-tree and where is it available .

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The Lote Tree is mentioned in the Quran in Chapter An-Najm when Allaah Says (what means): {At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary. Near it is the Garden of Refuge [i.e. Paradise]}[Quran 53:14-15] This Tree is enormous and the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) saw it at the seventh heaven during the night of Mi'raaj when he was ascended to the heaven.

Allaah Knows best.
