Crescent Moon Visibility of Ramadan 1442 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Ramadan 1442 shows that the moon will be born on 12 April 2021 at 02:31 GMT/UT, but will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 13 April 2021, the moon will be easily visible in the UK and in most countries of the world. Hence, Ramadan is most likely to start from 14 April 2021, InShaAllah.
