The last 10 days of Ramadan is the 10 days that will help prevent you from entering hell. The first 10 days is Rahma-that is that Allah (God) would be kind to you (something along that line). The next 10 days is Maghfira-or repentence. Those are the 10 days that hopefully Allah (God) will erase all your sins. And that brings us to the last 10 days. In the last 10 days, if you do not know, is Laylat Al Qadr. In the Quran there is a surah called Surat Al-Qadr. In that surah it says that fasting and reading Quran (this is to Muslims) and repenting on this night is greater and better than fasting 1000 months.
Ramadan last fell in December in 2001. The Islamic calendar is lunar-based, causing Ramadan to shift approximately 10 to 12 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar. Consequently, Ramadan will return to December again in 2030.
Laylat Al Qadr-it is one of the odd nights in the last 10 days of Ramadan.

No, it's 29 or 30 days...there's the first 10 , second 10, and the third 10.
I don't think you HAVE to but it is good to. There are 3 sections in which ramadan is split. There are 30 days in ramadan so 10 days for each section. in the second section of ramadan you have to du'a to Allah for forgiveness for past wrongdoings.
Ramadan is based on the Islamic lunar calendar because the lunar year is about 10-12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the solar year. This causes Ramadan to shift by about 10-12 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar.
Ramadan moves ahead 10+ days a year; and follows the phases of of the new moon. It takes about 33 years for Ramadan to be in the same time of the month with a five day gap. For example Ramadan March 28,1990 to Ramadan March 22, 2023.
It begins August 12. Just remember that every year its 10 days before.
Usually it's two months after. The first 10 days of the second month is the pilgrimage time.
No. Muharram is the first month of the Islamic month, while Ramadan is the ninth. Ramadan is most known as the month of fasting. Muharram is most known for it's 9th and 10th days, or Ashura, which is a time for Shia mourning. Many Muslims also fast on the tenth day, or on days 9 and 10, or on the first ten days of Muharram.
To determine how many weeks until Ramadan, you'll need to check the current date and the expected start date of Ramadan for the year in question. Ramadan typically begins about 10-12 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar, as it follows the lunar calendar. If today is before the start of Ramadan, you can calculate the weeks by counting the number of days until the start date and dividing by seven.
Ramadan of year 1431 AH expected to start by 11th or 12th of August 2010 for 29 or 30 days.
