There are many wisdoms hidden in saying that Lailatul-Qadr is not fixed so that Muslims spend at least five odd nights in remembrance and worship of Allah in search of this night. If a night was fixed, people would wake up and worship on that night, and if that night was fixed, then those who worship on it would be regarded as having a great reward, but those who spend it in sins will also suffer severe punishment. It was done because they wasted it in disobedience to God while recognizing the Night of Qadr, so the requirement of mercy is that it should be kept hidden.
