Crescent Moon Visibility of Rabi-ul Thani/Akhir 1448 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rabi-ul Thani 1448 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 11 September 2026 at 03:27 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible to the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 12 September 2026, the moon may be visible in Morocco but [may] not be in the UK until the next day. Hence, Rabi-ul Thani is most likely to start on 13 & 14 September 2026 in Morocco and the UK, respectively (applying the "30-days complete" rule), InShaAllah. [UK Major Lunar Standstills Q&A]
