Ramadan (also said Ramazan, Ramzan, Ramadhan, Ramdan, Ramadaan) is holy ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar (the Hijra). This is the month when the first verses of Quran were said to be revealed to the to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. The month of prescribed fasting for Muslims, during this month Muslims keep fast between sunrise and sunset (daytime fasting). It contemplates for a lunar month of about 28 days. Observed as a time of fasting and austerity, Muslims refrain from smoking, sexual relations, and various other desires and emotions during this period or indulging in anything which is not pious or ill natured. The fasting is meant to learn patience, modesty and spirituality. They fast for sake of God. They also ask blessings from God for any sin they intentionally or unintentionally have committed, they prey for direction and self-purification. Besides fasting, Muslims also pray more than normal and if they make a habit of it, they may continue with prayers once the Ramadan month is over.
In some countries eating in public place during Ramdan (daytime) is not encouraged. In Algeria in 2008, six persons were condemned for four years in prison. Kuwait has a rule, wherein, under a law number 44, 1968 approximately 100 Kuwati dinars are slapped as fine or jail or both for people seen having food, drinking or smoking during Roza.
The dates of Ramadan (also said Ramazan, Ramzan, Ramadhan, Ramdan, Ramadaan) varies. Following the moon, it moves forward about ten days each year

Mawlid al-Nabi/Milad an-Nabi is celebrated as the pious birthday of the Prophet Mohammad. It occurs in Rabi' al-awwal. In different parts of the world in different vernaculars Mawlid al-Nabi/Milad an-Nabiis also described as mawlid, múlid, mulud or milad. In countries like Egypt Mawlid, the word is synonymous to birthdays. The Mawlid al-Nabi was first observed in the thirteenth century and was followed by a month of celebration. The day falls in the month of Rabi al-Awwal in the Islamic calendar. Shias celebrate the day on the 17th day of the month, the day coincides with the birth date of their sixth Imam, Ja'far al-Sadiq. Sunnis observe it on the 12th of the month. The birthday dates keep on varying from year to year as it’s a lunar calendar. The birthday is observed by sermons, honoring of religious dignitaries, gift giving, and a feast.
Here, I have laid out Mawlid al-Nabi/ Milad an-Nabi dates (approximate)
Al-Hijra/Muharram (Hegira) is the Islamic New Year which Muslims from worldwide partake on the first day of the month of Muharram. There is a historic significance to the day, it is remembered as the day when Prophet Mohammad made it to Medina from Mecca. The word Hijra means migration. Though many believe there is not much religious significance of the day, in many areas Muslims exchange greeting cards and gifts, however, it is not a common practice. The date marks the beginning of Islam as a community in which spiritual and earthly life have been completely integrated.
Muharram is a month of grief and sorrow as Shia Muslims as they grieve over demise of Inam Hussain.
It is not much celebrated event in the Muslim world. Going by the significance of the date some consider it a good time for new year resolution. The Muslim calendar begins its date from the Hijra, and that is the reason behind Muslim dates have suffix A.H (After Hijra)
Normally shorter than lunar year by eleven to twelve days, the Islamic lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the moon phase, Muharram is not fixed and migrates throughout the seasons.
The start dates are estimated and may differ from season to season depending on the sighting of the new moon for Muharram, however, the month starts at sunset on previous day:

Percy Sledge – When A Man Loves A Woman Lyrics
When a man loves a woman Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else He’d trade the world For a good thing he’s found If she is bad, he can’t see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman Spend his very last dime Trying to hold on to what he needs He’d give up all his comforts And sleep out in the rain If she said that’s the way It ought to be
When a man loves a woman I give you everything I’ve got (yeah) Trying to hold on To your precious love Baby please don’t treat me bad
When a man loves a woman Deep down in his soul She can bring him such misery If she is playing him for a fool He’s the last one to know Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman I now exactly how he feels ‘Cause baby, baby, baby I am a man When a man loves a woman
