IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-203: SOLAT ISYAK MENDAPAT GANJARAN LAILATUL QADAR
Does performing the Isha prayer in congregation at the mosque during the last ten nights of Ramadan earn the reward of those who pray through the Night of Qadr?
Short answer
The answer leans towards the view that the reward of Laylat al-Qadr is obtained by anyone who performs Isha in congregation, since this counts as night prayer and the night of al-Qadr has already begun.

Summary
The answer leans towards the view that the reward of Laylat al-Qadr is obtained by anyone who performs Isha in congregation, since this counts as night prayer and the night of al-Qadr has already begun. This is based on a hadith in Ibn Khuzaimah and on Imam al-Shafie's earlier position regarding attending Isha and Subuh prayers. Muslims are nevertheless still urged to strive in worship throughout the last ten nights, such as through reciting the Quran, supplication and giving charity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami cenderung untuk mengatakan bahawa ganjaran malam al-Qadar akan diperolehi bagi sesiapa yang mendirikan solat Isyak secara berjemaah kerana itu telah dikira sebagai qiyam dan telah bermula waktu malam al-Qadar.
