Crescent Moon Visibility of Rabi-ul Awwal 1440 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rabi-ul Awwal 1440 shows that moon will be born on 7 November 2018 at 16:02 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK/Morocco region on that date. However, on 8 November 2018 the moon will be easily visible in most of Europe/Africa. Hence, the month of Rabi-ul Awwal is most likely to start from 9 November 2018, InShaAllah.
