The Wisdom Behind Concealing the Night of Decree

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the wisdom behind the Night of Decree moving from one night to another in the last ten nights of Ramadan?

Answer:
This is one of the opinions, and there is no evidence for it. The Night of Decree is certainly in Ramadan, but Allah has concealed it in any of the nights so that the Muslim strives in every Ramadan, thereby obtaining the reward of Ramadan and the reward of the Night of Decree. As for the one who does not strive except on a specific night, thinking it is the Night of Decree, or believing it is most likely the Night of Decree, he may not catch the Night of Decree if it is on a different night. Yes.
