Crescent Moon Visibility of Jumada Al-Ula 1440 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Jumada Al-Ula 1440 shows that moon will be born on 6 January 2019 at 01:28 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK/Morocco region on that date. However, on 7 January 2019 the moon will be easily visible in the UK and all other countries of the world. Hence, the month of Jumada Al-Ula is most likely to start from 8 January 2019, InShaAllah. Note that there will be a solar eclipse on 6 January 2019 across Asia/Pacific.
