Crescent Moon Visibility of Dhul Qa'dah 1446 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Dhul Qa'dah 1446 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 27 April 2025 at 19:31 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 28 April 2025, the moon will be easily visible in the UK and most parts of the world. Hence, the month of Dhul Qa'dah is most likely to start on 29 April 2025, InshaAllah.
