What is the evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah for the existence of "Sidrat al-Muntaha," "the tree of immortality," "the tree of knowledge," "the great tree," and "the tallest tree in Paradise (Heaven)"?
The answers mention that the Quran and the Prophetic Sunnah have referred to many types of trees, among them: the palm tree as a "good word" and a "likeness for the Muslim"; the blessed olive tree as "light upon light"; the gourd tree that grew for Yunus (peace be upon him); the magnificent tree in the heavens where the Prophet saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him); the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary (Sidrat al-Muntaha); the Tuba tree in Paradise; the Zaqqum tree as the food of the people of Hellfire; the tree under which the Prophet swore allegiance with his companions; the tree beside which the Prophet used to deliver sermons; the tree where Allah spoke to Musa; the tree from which Allah forbade Adam and Eve to eat; the cedar tree as a likeness for the disbeliever; the tree that prostrated with the man in the righteous dream; the two trees that concealed the Prophet when he relieved himself; the trees with ill-smelling fruits (garlic, onions, and leeks); and the trees that will expose the Jews to the Muslims at the end of time, except for the Gharqad tree.
