Crescent Moon Visibility of Dhul Qa'dah 1441 AH
The crescent visibility map below for Dhul Qa'dah 1441 shows that moon will be born on 21 June 2020 at 06:41 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK/Morocco region on that date. However, on 22 June 2020 the moon will be easily visible in the UK and in most countries of the world. Hence, the month of Dhul Qa'dah is most likely to start from 23 June 2020, InshaAllah. Note that there will be a solar eclipse on 21 June 2020 across Africa/Middle East and a lunar eclipse on 5 - 6 July 2020 across Europe/Africa and the Americas.

Not seen after sunset: On 22 Jun 2020, ICOUK member Eng Qamar Uddin from York City in the North Yorkshire County (United Kingdom) mentioned that the sky was Partly Cloudy, the crescent was not seen by Naked-eye or Binoculars.
Eng Qamar Uddin commented: "I went to my sighting location well before sunset but it was partly cloudy and the sunset was almost close to the horizon. I waited almost an hour until nearly moonset time, but unfortunately, the thick dark bank of clouds above the sunset position didn’t move away so the Hilal was not seen. I am pleased to hear many people in the Midlands and Greater London area have seen it, Alhamdulillah".
