Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Ramadan 1440 shows that moon will be born on 4 May 2019 at 22:46 GMT/UT, but it may not be visible by the naked-eye anywhere in the UK/Morocco region on that date or the next day. However, on 6 May 2019, the moon will be easily visible in the UK and in most countries of the world. Hence, the month of Ramadan is most likely to start from 7 May 2019, InShaAllah.
