Crescent Moon Visibility of Rabi-ul Thani/Akhir 1445 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rabi-ul Thani 1445 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 14 October 2023 at 17:55 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco (MA) region on that date or the next day. However, on 16 October 2023, the moon may be visible in Morocco but [may] not be in the UK until the next day. Hence, the month of Rabi-ul Thani is most likely to start on 17 October 2023 in Morocco and in the UK (applying the "30-days complete" rule), InShaAllah. Note that there will be an Annular Solar Eclipse on 14 October 2023 across West Africa to the Americas and a Partial Lunar Eclipse on 28 - 29 October 2023 from Europe to Australia (i.e., across most parts of the world).
