What should a Muslim do on Laylat al-Qadr, is it a condition to complete the recitation of the Quran during it, and how is the night prayer performed and what is the number of its rak'ahs?

It is recommended for a Muslim to revive Laylat al-Qadr by praying at night, for "whoever prays during Laylat al-Qadr with faith and hoping for Allah's reward, all his past sins will be forgiven." It is also recommended to supplicate during it, especially: "O Allah, You are forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me." It is also recommended to recite the Quran frequently and remember Allah. Night prayers are performed two rak'ahs at a time, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed eleven rak'ahs, and there is no harm in adding more.
