This is what I am refering to ...

This Sidrat Al Muntaha, is the farthest anything can go beyond, including the Angels,

this means that when Gabriel reached Sidrat Al-Muntaha after taking Prophet Muhammad on Al-Buraq (that you always like to comment about, and that is why I metioned it here again), he stopped there and could not continue any farther, but Prophet Muhammad continued alone until he was beyond the boundaries of the utmost boundary after Sidrat Al-Muntaha alone to stand in front of Almighty, then when Prophet Muhammad returned from his audience with God, he descended back to Sidrat Al-Muntaha where he saw Gabriel Again. - this verse refers to this point
