Crescent Moon Visibility of Shaban 1445 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Shaban 1445 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 9 February 2024 at 22:59 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 10 February 2024, the moon may be visible in Morocco, but not in the UK. Hence, the month of Shaban is most likely to start on 11 February 2024 in Morocco and 12 February 2024 in the UK, InShaAllah.
