Crescent Moon Visibility of Jumada Al-Akhira 1445 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Jumada Al-Akhira 1445 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 12 December 2023 at 23:32 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 (13 December 2023). However, on 14 December 2023, the moon may be easily visible in Morocco but with difficulty in the UK (due to the low altitude during the Major Lunar Standstills). Hence, the month of Jumada Al-Akhira is likely to start on 15 December 2023 in Morocco and in the UK, InShaAllah. [UK Major Lunar Standstills Q&A]
