Crescent Moon Visibility of Rajab 1443 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rajab 1443 shows that the moon will be born on 1 February 2022 at 5:46 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 2 February 2022 the moon will be visible in most of the world. Hence, the month of Rajab is most likely to start from 3 February 2022, InShaAllah.
