Crescent Moon Visibility of Shawwal 1440 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Shawwal 1440 shows that moon will be born on 3 June 2019 at 10:02 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK/Morocco region on that date. However, on 4 June 2019 the moon will be easily visible in the UK and many countries of the world. Hence, the month of Shawwal is most likely to start from 5 June 2019, InShaAllah.
