Q: Need to know so i can have a great ramadan i'm a shia so do i have to do it?
A: Tarawih, its a sunnah prayer that last between 8 - 20 rakats. Where i am its starts around nine o' clock. You should go to your local Mosque and find out when it starts if you want to participate. You could do it at home of course, but i think you're a new muslim and it would probably be better for you to do it in a mosque.
