Crescent Moon Visibility of Shawwal 1441 AH
Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Shawwal 1441 shows that moon will be born on 22 May 2020 at 17:39 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK/Morocco region (or anywhere in the whole world) on that date. However, on 23 May 2020, the moon may not be seen in the UK (except with Optical Aid) but may be seen in other West African countries, including Morocco. Hence, the month of Shawwal is most likely to start from 24 May 2020, InShaAllah.
