Answer:
The Night of Decree is specifically for the believers. It is peace from all afflictions. It is the Night of Decree until the break of dawn, and this is among its virtues that Allah has placed in it. So it is peace for the people of faith, the people of righteousness, and the people of the oneness of Allah. Yes.
