The Virtue of the Night of Decree and the Merit of Attaining It in the Sacred Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. An Egyptian working in Riyadh, who indicated his name with the letters S, A, M, asks: Is there a special virtue in attending the Night of Decree in Makkah compared to standing in prayer for it in any other place?

Answer:
The Night of Decree is a great night. Allah spoke of it in His Noble Book, describing it as a blessed night and describing it as better than a thousand months. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, if
Whoever spends the night of Lailat Al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, he will be forgiven his previous sins.قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2193Sahih (Darussalam)
. This is the case for every Muslim in any place on earth, with intention and seeking reward. However, if one attends it in the Sacred Mosque, that is better, because good deeds are multiplied in the Sacred Mosque more than in any other place, due to the honor of the place.
