Question:
This is a question asking: How does a person know that he has been granted the standing of the Night of Decree?

Answer:
My brother, you must strive. You must strive and stand in prayer throughout the nights of Ramadan. You stand in prayer for all the nights of Ramadan, because the Night of Decree has not been specified as to which night it is. It is certainly in Ramadan, but Allah has not specified which night it is, so that Muslims would strive in all the nights of Ramadan until they complete the reward. They would have stood in prayer for Ramadan and stood in prayer for the Night of Decree, obtaining both rewards: the reward for standing in Ramadan and the reward for standing in the Night of Decree. This is the wisdom in concealing the Night of Decree. You strive in all the nights of Ramadan, from its beginning to its end, especially the last ten nights, for they are the most likely to contain the Night of Decree. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would single out the last ten nights with deeds he did not perform in the first twenty nights, because they are more likely and more probable to contain the Night of Decree. So you must strive, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the One who grants success. Yes.
