وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "On Sunday 3 April 2011 (29 Rabi-ul Thani 1432 AH) many people from throughout UK have attempted to sight the crescent moon (Hilal) of Jumada Al-Awwal after sunset. None of the groups were able to sight the Hilal, even though some places had clear sky conditions near sunset positions (see attached photos). 

We have not received any reliable sighting news from countries east of UK or Morocco either. Message from Professor Abdelkhalek Cheddadi stated official decision by Morocco Awqaf Ministry is negative sighting. 

Therefore, the Ulama (including Wifaq/Batley) have decided that the month of Rabi-ul Thani 1432 AH will complete 30 days and the month of Jumada Al-Awwal 1432 AH will start from Tuesday 5 April 2011, Insha-Allah.
" 

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

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس محمد عودة "Very hazy... The sun disappeared at certain times! In addition it was partly cloudy as well!" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد حسين الشيخ عيسى "11 persons were present in N'tissa station .The new crescent of Jumadal Awwal 1432 was seen by naked eyes. " 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد صالح الصعب "The western sky was cloudy for about 6 degrees above horizon , the altitude of the crescent was 10 degrees but was not seen .
It was seen in Madeenah (by telescope) and Tabouk (by naked eye). " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "On Monday 4 April 2011 (30 Rabi-ul Thani 1432 AH) a few of us tried to sight the crescent moon (Hilal) of Jumada Al-Ula after sunset from York Astronomical Society Observatory. The western sky was totally cloudy with a small break in the clouds for few seconds, which enabled us to easily sight the Hilal with 10x50 binoculars. We would have easily seen the Hilal by naked eye if the sky was clear (see attached photos). However, the Ulama in UK have already decided yesterday to start Jumada Al-Ula 1432 from Tuesday 5 April 2011 by completing Rabi-ul Thani 1432 as 30-days." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "This evening (Monday, April 04, 2011), because of an overcast condition in Blacksburg, VA, no crescent sighting was possible; I checked the horizon around sunset (sunset: 7:46 pm EDT and moonset: 9:06 pm)." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد أبم حسان "Moon was not seen because the sky was very cloudy." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عبدالرزاق   عبدالعزيز إشولا "Asalam aleikun We tried to search the Jumal Awwal crescent this evening but was not seen due to cloudiness ans it is rainy here in Ikorodu are of Lagos State. and am opportuned to participate in live Observation with Brother Qamarudeen in United Kingdom today honestly it is very interesting Kudos to Qomarudeen we will emulate him very very soon very interesting.
wasalam aleikun" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عبدالرزاق   عبدالعزيز إشولا "Asalam aleikun The Jumadaluulah Crescent was not seen by me and few brothers in Jubilee Estate today due to cloudiness of the sky and I called most of our colleagues in the North and south they reported negative.am surprised when Egypt claimed sighting yesterday 3-4-11 it is total erroneous I hope our Sulton wouldn't declared today as 1st of Jumadal Awwal too.
Happy New Lunar month in advance. " 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد قمر الدين محمد "I couldn't sight the new Hilal yesterday (April 4, 2011) and today (April 5, 2011) perhaps due to hazy at western sky." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "The old crescent of 2. April 2011 could be observed well from munich with the naked eye and binoculars under good sky conditions. Ahmad Schnurrer from munich joined me at the public observatory. We used several instruments, but good 25x100 binoculars gave the most pleasant view. We could also follow the crescent visually after sunset, using a telescope.
Later in the day, video observation was very easy, too." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "The eastern horizon before sunrise was very cloudy. The waning crescent was not seen."

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس محمد عودة "Started at 10:00 Local time with several trials, and again at 14:00 with two trials. The sky was hazy, especially during the later trials. All the equipment were perfect, but the weather conditions were not! Venus was visible during my first trails on the laptop, however, it was not seen during my last trials due to the bad weather conditions!"
