Crescent Moon Visibility of Ramadan 1448 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Ramadan 1448 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 6 February 2027 at 15:56 GMT/UT, but will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 7 February 2027, the moon will be visible in the UK to Morocco region. Hence, Ramadan is most likely to start on 8 February 2027, InShaAllah. [When is Ramadan & Eid-ul Fitr 1448?] Note that there will be a Solar Eclipse on 6 February 2027 in Africa, South America and a Lunar Eclipse on 20 February 2027 across Asia/Europe to the Americas. Related: "Solar eclipse proves the inaccuracy of the Saudi Ummul Qura calendar"  [English] | [اردو] | [বাংলা] | [العربية]
