Crescent Moon Visibility of Rabi-ul Awwal 1448 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rabi-ul Awwal 1448 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 12 August 2026 at 17:37 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date (or anywhere in the world). However, on 13 August 2026, the moon may be visible in Morocco, but not in the UK. Hence, Rabi-ul Awwal is most likely to start on 14 & 15 August 2026 in Morocco and the UK, respectively (applying the "30-days complete" rule), InShaAllah. [UK Major Lunar Standstills Q&A] Note that there will be a Solar Eclipse on 12 August 2026 in UK, Europe, and much of North America and a Lunar Eclipse on 28 August 2026 across the UK, Europe and most of the world.
