Crescent Moon Visibility of Rajab 1447 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rajab 1447 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 20 December 2025 at 01:43 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 21 December 2025, the moon may be visible in Morocco, but [may] not be in the UK. Hence, Rajab is likely to start on 22 & 23 December 2025 in Morocco and the UK, respectively (applying the "30-days complete" rule), InShaAllah. [UK Major Lunar Standstills Q&A]
