Seeking the Night of Decree and Its Signs

Question:
The question also asks: How do we seek the Night of Decree? What are its signs?

Answer:
The Night of Decree is possible on any night of the month, but it is more likely in the last ten nights. The scholars have mentioned various efforts in seeking it. Some say it is the first night of the ten, some say it is the twenty-third night, meaning some say it is the twenty-first night, some say it is the twenty-third night, and some say it is the twenty-seventh night. This last opinion is the strongest: that it is the twenty-seventh night. However, one should not be certain of this. A person should not wait until the twenty-seventh night arrives and then stand in prayer only on that night. Rather, he should stand in prayer throughout the month and throughout the ten nights, so that he stands in prayer during the month of Ramadan and so that he encounters the Night of Decree, thereby combining the two virtues. Yes.
