Crescent Moon Visibility of Shawwal 1448 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Shawwal 1448 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 8 March 2027 at 09:29 GMT/UT, and it may not be visible to the naked eye in the UK to the Morocco region on that date. However, on 9 March 2027, the moon may be easily visible in the UK and in most parts of the world. Hence, Shawwal is most likely to start on 10 March 2027, InShaAllah.
