Crescent Moon Visibility of Shawwal 1447 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Shawwal 1447 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 19 March 2026 at 01:23 GMT/UT, and it may be visible to the naked eye (after finding it with Optical Aids) in the UK to the Morocco region on that date (weather permitting). However, on 20 March 2026, the moon may be easily seen in the UK and in most parts of the world. Hence, Shawwal is most likely to start on 20 and/or 21 March 2026, InShaAllah.
