Crescent Moon Visibility of Shaban 1441 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Shaban 1441 shows that moon will be born on 24 March 2020 at 09:28 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK/Morocco region on that date. However, on 25 March 2020 the moon will be easily visible in the UK and in most countries of the world. Hence, the month of Shaban is most likely to start from 26 March 2020, InShaAllah.
