Crescent Moon Visibility of Rabi-ul Awwal 1445 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rabi-ul Awwal 1445 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 15 September 2023 at 01:40 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco (MA) region on that date. However, on 16 September 2023, the moon may be visible in Morocco, but [may] not in the UK. Hence, the month of Rabi-ul Awwal is most likely to start on 17 September 2023 in Morocco and in the UK (applying the "30-days complete" rule), InShaAllah. [UK Major Lunar Standstills Q&A]
