What are the differences in reward between one who stands in prayer and another on the Night of Decree?

The questioner : The young man: Through my understanding of you over the past years regarding the Night of Decree, its virtue, and obtaining the reward, I said, for example, a teacher teaches thirty students the same subject, in the same class, with the same exam, but the results in terms of success vary among the thirty students. Each one’s level of success in this single exam, with the same questions, varies from one to another among the thirty. So, the level of Muslims in all regions of the earth on the Night of Decree varies; how much reward each one obtains from the virtue of this night is like that.

The Shaykh : Of course, my brother, these are the degrees of Paradise. The example is that all Muslims enter Paradise, but some are in the lowest degree of Paradise, and some in the highest, and between them are degrees that no one knows except Allah. So it is like that.

The questioner : O Allah, we ask You for the highest level of Paradise.

The Shaykh : These are the degrees of the accepted prayer.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : But it may be accepted as a full acceptance, or not a half acceptance, or a quarter, or in between, and so on.

The questioner : So every person has a share according to his effort in it.

The Shaykh : According to his effort and his striving.
Yes.
