Literally “the furthermost Lote-Tree”, translated by Shoghi
Effendi as “the Tree beyond which there is no passing”. This is
used as a symbol in Islám, for example in the accounts of
Muḥammad’s Night Journey, to mark the point in the
heavens beyond which neither men nor angels can pass in
their approach to God, and thus to delimit the bounds of
divine knowledge as revealed to mankind. Hence it is often
used in the Bahá’í Writings to designate the Manifestation
of God Himself. (See also note 164.)
