Question:
And His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:187] What is the intended meaning, Shaykh?
Answer:
It was said that the intended meaning is the Night of Decree, meaning: seek out the Night of Decree. Yes, in this blessed month, because it is a blessed night, and it occurs in the month of Ramadan without a doubt. However, no one knows on which night it is except Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. He concealed it so that Muslims would strive in all the nights of the month in order to increase their reward. Whoever stands in prayer for all the nights of the month has thereby attained the Night of Decree, and has also gained an increase in the remaining nights. This makes his reward greater and his recompense more abundant. It was also said that the intended meaning of "what Allah has decreed for you" is children, namely children who are born by the permission of Allah through sexual intercourse. Yes.
