Crescent Moon Visibility of Ramadan 1443 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Ramadan 1443 shows that the moon will be born on 1 April 2022 at 6:24 GMT/UT, but will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 2 April 2022, the moon will be easily visible in the UK and in most countries of the world. Hence, Ramadan is most likely to start from 3 April 2022, InShaAllah. [When is Ramadan 1443?]
