Crescent Moon Visibility of Shawwal 1447 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Shawwal 1447 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 19 March 2026 at 01:23 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date (except by Optical Aids). However, on 20 March 2026, the moon may be easily seen in the UK and in most parts of the world. Hence, Shawwal is most likely to start on 21 March 2026, InShaAllah.
