Crescent Moon Visibility of Rabi-ul Thani/Akhir 1447 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rabi-ul Thani 1447 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 21 September 2025 at 19:54 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible to the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date or the next day. However, on 23 September 2025, the moon may be visible in Morocco but [may] not be in the UK until the next day. Hence, Rabi-ul Thani is most likely to start on 24 & 25 September 2025 in Morocco and the UK, respectively (applying the "30-days complete" rule), InShaAllah. [UK Major Lunar Standstills Q&A]
