Crescent Moon Visibility of Dhul Qa'dah 1448 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Dhul Qa'dah 1448 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 6 April 2027 at 23:51 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 7 April 2027, the moon will be visible in the UK to Morocco region. Hence, Dhul Qa'dah is most likely to start on 8 April 2027, InshaAllah.
