Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question about the Night of Decree has been frequent. Is it a specific night? Does it have signs by which it is known, such as people saying that the sky opens and some of the righteous see it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The Night of Decree is in Ramadan, without doubt. The Night of Decree is in Ramadan, and this confirms for the Muslim that he should pay attention to the entire month of Ramadan, from its beginning to its end, and not neglect any part of it. As for its specific date, Allah the Exalted concealed it and did not specify it for us so that we would strive throughout Ramadan, increasing our reward by standing in prayer during Ramadan and standing in prayer on the Night of Decree, adding good to good. As for its signs, nothing has come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or nothing authentic has been established from him, specifying signs that indicate it. Allah has wisdom in this so that people do not rely on one night and leave the rest of the nights. Yes.
