The Sign of the Night of Decree
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: What is the sign of the Night of Decree? And what is obligatory for the Muslim in it?
Answer: It is a recommended practice (sunnah) to stand in prayer on the Night of Decree. It is specific to the last ten nights of Ramadan, and the odd-numbered nights are more emphasized than the others. The most likely night is the twenty-seventh. It is prescribed to strive in the obedience of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) during the days and nights of the ten. Standing in night prayer is not obligatory; rather, it is recommended (mustahabb). This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would strive in the last ten nights in a way he did not strive in other times. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would, when the last ten nights entered, tighten his waistcloth, stay awake at night, and wake up his family.”
And because of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 2193Sahih (Darussalam) There are many hadiths regarding this. And success is from Allah.

And because of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
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.
