Crescent Moon Visibility of Ramadan 1447 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Ramadan 1447 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 17 February 2026 at 12:01 GMT/UT, but will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 18 February 2026, the moon will be easily visible in the UK and most countries of the world. Hence, Ramadan is most likely to start on 19 February 2026, InShaAllah. [When is Ramadan & Eid-ul Fitr 1447?] Note that there will be a Solar Eclipse on 17 February 2026 in South Africa and South Americas and a Lunar Eclipse on 2 - 3 March 2026 across Asia/Europe to the Americas.
