Crescent Moon Visibility of Rabi-ul Thani/Akhir 1440 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rabi-ul Thani 1440 shows that moon will be born on 7 December 2018 07:20 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK/Morocco region on that date. However, on 8 December 2018 the moon will be visible in the UK and most countries of the world. Hence, the month of Rabi-ul Thani is most likely to start from 9 December 2018, InShaAllah.

On Friday 7th December 2018 (29th Rabi-ul Awwal 1440 AH) the Hilal of Rabi-ul Thani 1440 was not sighted in the UK/Morocco region. We have also received a negative sighting report from Morocco Awqaf Ministry (login to view).

Note that Saudi Arabia do not normally make any official Hilal Sighting announcement from Safar to Shaban (as they usually follow the Ummul Qura Calendar in these months).
