Question:
He also asks about the ruling on standing in prayer on the twenty-seventh night: Is it established for a person every year? Or how do you direct them to Allah the Exalted, or for good? That is, they are from the Ansar and exert themselves in the month of Ramadan.
Answer:
Generally, standing in prayer in the tarawih with the imam and the congregation on every night of Ramadan, and in the last ten nights, the exertion in standing increases, lengthening the standing, and performing the tahajjud. This is required of the Muslim on all the blessed nights of the ten, and a person does not restrict himself to the twenty-seventh night or the twenty-third night or the nights that are said to be more likely for seeking the Night of Decree. He does not deprive himself, but rather he stands for the whole month with the Muslims. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 37 If it happens to be the Night of Decree and he stands in it, he obtains its reward in addition to his standing in the month of Ramadan. The saying of Allah the Exalted [Al-Qadr 97:3] So it is an increase in the work of the mosque, but he does not restrict himself to it, because first, he does not know exactly when it is.
So it may be on a night other than the one he thought was the Night of Decree, and because if he restricts himself to the Night of Decree, he misses the standing of the month and the reward therein. So the Muslim does not deprive himself of the fruits, and he says: The nights of abundance are now with the Muslims from the beginning of the month to the end, and he increases his exertion in the last ten nights seeking the Night of Decree. Yes.

Whoever establishes prayers during the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not for showing off), all his past sins will be forgiven.
مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِThe Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍSo it may be on a night other than the one he thought was the Night of Decree, and because if he restricts himself to the Night of Decree, he misses the standing of the month and the reward therein. So the Muslim does not deprive himself of the fruits, and he says: The nights of abundance are now with the Muslims from the beginning of the month to the end, and he increases his exertion in the last ten nights seeking the Night of Decree. Yes.
