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 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 saw it at the seventh heaven during the night of Mi'raaj when he was ascended to the heaven.

For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 107126.

Allaah Knows best.
