The Beloved Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) has said:

“Anyone, man or woman from my umma  (community) who want to benefit  from the light of my grave then he (or she) should perform worship with great intensity on each Laylat ul-Qadr (last 10 odd  nights) , so that Allah The Most Exalted may wipe the person’s sins away and replace them with good deeds.”

The  worship  on Laylat ul-Qadr  is  better and  more  powerful than worship of 70 (seventy) thousand nights.

The 2nd of Laylat ul-Qadr (23rd Night):

The prayer can be done in one of two ways:

1. Read 4 cycles of prayer with 2 salams. In each cycle, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha,  read Surah Al-Qadr 1 time  and Surah Al-Ikhlas 3 times. Insha Allah, this prayer is very effective for having sins forgiven after death.
2. Read 8 cycles of prayer with 4 salams. In each cycle, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha,  read Surah Al-Qadr 1 time  and Surah Al-Ikhlas 1 time.  After  the salam,  read Kalma  Tamjeed  (i.e.  say Subhaan-Allaahi wa  al-hamdu Lillahi wa  laa ilaaha illallaahu wa Allahu akbar wa  laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa billahill aliyyil adheem) 70 times  and then ask Allah  The Most Exalted  for  forgiveness  of  your  sins.  Insha Allah, Allah  Almighty will forgive all your sins.

Also, it is very effective and beneficial to recite Surah Yasin (Al-Quran, chapter 36) 1 time, and Surah Rahman (Al-Quran, chapter 55) 1 time on this night. .
