It has been the practice of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) that he would not sleep in the night preceding the day of Eidul-fitr. This night has been named in a Hadith “Lailatul Jazaa” - the night of reward.
It means Allah bestows his rewards to those who have spent the month of Ramadan abiding by the dictates of Shari’ah, and all their prayers in this night are accepted. Therefore, it is desirable to perform nafl prayers in this night.
The Propet (PBUH) is reported to have said: “Who ever stands in worship in the nights preceding the two Eids expecting rewards from his heart will not die when the other hearts will die. (Ibn Majah)
To benefit from this opportunity, one should perform as much worship in this night as he can, and should pray for all his needs and desires.

I thought I'll just share this information with you.... lots of us dont remember what this Night is for, and stay busy in preparing for Eid, going out, shopping, or wasting time at home while listening to songs and chatting and putting henna on hands etc. Therefore we lose all the reward that is promised to us By Allah...!!
To avail the most from this night, it is said to say Takbeer from evening till the morning of Eid. May Allah forgive us and accept our fasts, and reward us for our good deeds.
Ameen.
