وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور محمد حسين   أحمد "“Al-salam 'alaykum. The new moon for the month of Dhul Hijjah 1436 was not sighted from Brunei (4° 55′ North and 114° 55′ East) on the evening of Sunday, 13 September 2015. This was officially announced through the Brunei National TV and Radio stations. Therefore, tomorrow Monday, 14 September 2015 is the completion of 30 days for the month of Dhul Qaedah 1436 in Brunei. Hence, the 1st of Dhul Hijjah 1436 will commence on Tuesday, 15 September 2015. Subsequently, the Eid al-Adha will fall on Thursday, 24 September 2015. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Muslims across the world a happy and blessed Eid al-Adha. May Allah grant us success, victory, unity and improve the conditions of Muslims around the world to the best, Amin.”(Dr Mohammed Hussain Ahmad)" 

وقال عضو المشروع الأستاذ دكتور محمد سالم البوسعيدي "The crescent moon was not sighted, some few clouds at the horizon." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد بابا عبد الله "The sky was largely cloudy per my observation with high humidity, possibly after a heavy downpour of rain. Sighting effort was made between the hours of 18:07 and 18:51 local time. I really did not expect to see the crescent because age of moon after conjunction as at sunset Tamale time was only about 12 hours. Moreover, Moon lag time was even too short to permit visibility, just around 13 minutes. And Allaah (SWT) Knows Best. Sighting community; Tampei-Kukuo Yepalsi, Near Bi-Water Reservoir, Tamale." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد قاسم بهالي "Hilal observation was held at Khawarizmi Observatory at Tanjung Bidara, Melaka. The western horizon was very hazy. The age of hilal was 4 hour 31 min and it was not seen. The 1st of Zul Hijjah begins on tuesday 15 September 2015 was officially announced via TV and radio." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عثمان دوكو "Because it was cloudy, we did not attempt sighting the crescent." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد حسين الشيخ عيسى "تم بحمد الله تعالى تحري هلال شهر ذو الحجة 1436هـ من مدينة غرداية جنوب الجزائر، يوم الاثنين 14 سبتمبر 2015 بعد غروب الشمس حيث لم تتحقق الرؤية في موقع الرصد بينما تحققت رؤية الهلال من قبل آخرين بالمنظار (ثنائي العينية) بعد غروب الشمس مباشرة لمدة قاربت الــ 13 دقيقة. بينما لم تتحقق رؤية الهلال بالعين المجردة.
عيدكم مبارك وسعيد وكل عام والأمة الإسلامية في أمن وأمان." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور الحسن طالبي "رصدت الهلال أولا بالمنظار الزوجي بتكبير 7 مرات وعدسة قطرها  50  ثم تمكنت بعد ذلك من رؤيته بالعبن المجردة لكن بصعوبة كبيرة. " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "The Hilal of Dhul Hijjah 1436 was not sighted in the UK on Monday 14th September 2015 (29th Dhul Qaidah 1436 AH). However, it was sighted in many countries east of UK including Morocco.

Therefore, the Wifaqul Ulama have decided that the month of Dhul Hijjah 1436 AH will start from Tuesday 15th September 2015, making Eid-ul Adha to be on Thursday 24th September 2015, Insha-Allah. " 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "I arrived at my sighting location (Blacksburg Middle School) at 7:23 pm EDT.  The western horizon was clear and hazy.  Using a pair of binoculars (7X50), I started scanning the western horizon; the crescent was sighted at 7:27 pm (sunset: 7:31 pm).  After a few minutes, at 7:42 pm I could see the moon with naked eye.  The horns were at 2:00 and 6:00 O'clock (2:00;4:00;6:00).  I stayed at my sighting location till the crescent was disappearing behind trees at 8:10 pm.  On my way home, I stopped by another location to see the moon to disappear behind distant mountains at 8:13 pm (moonset: 8:16 pm)." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The moon was seen by CCD  approx 44 minutes before sunset on Monday, 14th September 2015 from Assalaam Observatory, PPMI Assalaam Kartasura Sukoharjo-Surakarta Central Java Indonesia. Photo was taken Mr. Wahid Ihsani (Ichsan Sani) and Me."

" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد بابا عبد الله "Date of sighting effort; Monday September 14, 2015. The crescent was SEEN BY OTHERS in other locations. The sky was completely cloudy around the location of my sighting effort, hence I could not see the crescent personally. My sighting effort was made around 18:45 local time in Tamale at the Tiyumba School Park, near “Lowlandi” Rice Processing Centre. Later in the night there was a radio announcement that the crescent had been sighted in four different towns." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس محمد عبدالكريم "بالرغم من خلو السماء من السحب والغبار إلا أنني لم أتمكن من رؤية الهلال بالعين المجردة وتمت رؤية الهلال عن طريق عدسة الكاميرا لدقائق معدودة فقط وتم إلتقاط الصورة المرفقة له." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور عثمان النافطي "We observed the Dhul Hijja 1436 crescent in a group of five. We all saw it and it was really thin and low on the horizon. The Sultanate in Nigeria has declared that Tuesday 15th September is 1st of Dhul Hijja. Alhamdu Lillah." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد يونس  يعقوب "Alhamdulillah !!!
The young Crescent was conspicuously sighted and soon after that it went behind cloud. The whole Muslim world got it right as Saudi Arabia got it right." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "It was totally cloudy this morning but the waning crescent was easily seen yesterday (11/9/2015) before sunrise - as shown in the photo below." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "I attentend a telescope convention in the austrian alps. We had excellent conditions at 1800m altitude. The crescent could be easily seen with binoculars. With naked eye it was much more difficult and you needed to really know where to look. Earthshine could not be seen anymore, as the crescent came up behind a mountain, delaying its appearance."

I was NOT able to see the crescent, even through a telescope.

I was not absolutey sure that I was aimed at the precise location of the crescent, so when I did not see anything at the correct time, I began to scan.  Focus was precise, but I only saw those pesky tiny curved cloud wisps, some of them with the “correct” orientation.  There were more of those “false crescents” than I’d ever seen before.
