وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "On Monday, 23 January 2012 (29 Safar 1433 AH) many people from throughout UK have attempted to sight the crescent moon (Hilal) of Rabiul Awwal after sunset. None of the groups were able to sight the Hilal, as most places were cloudy.

We have not received any reliable sighting reports (Muhaqaq-Ruyat-Basari) from any countries east of UK/Morocco either. But, we have received negative sighting report from Morocco Awqaf Ministry.

Therefore, the Wifaq/Batley Ulama have decided that the month of Safar 1433 AH will completed 30 days and the month of Rabiul Awwal 1433 AH will start from Wednesday, 25 January 2012, Insha-Allah." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "I arrived at my sighting location at 5:30 pm EST (sunset: 5:35 pm) and started scanning the partly cloudy WSW horizon, using a pair of binoculars (10X50).  I stayed there till 6:15 pm (moonset: 6:20 pm)." 

وقال عضو المشروع الأستاذ دكتور محمد سالم البوسعيدي "It was cloudy in the western horizon, windy and dusty. The crescent was not seen." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عبد العزيز أنيانج "The sky was clear as a star was clearly noticed after the sun had set.  There was no new crescent to be seen as moon age was also less than eleven hours (11 hrs) after our sunset time in Ghana." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد حسين الشيخ عيسى "10 observers were present in AMMI SAID institute. The new crescent of Rabee Awwal 1433 was seen by naked eyes." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "Most of the UK was totally cloudy and raining today, so we did not receive any sighting report of 32 hrs old moon (alt=14 deg), which should have been easily sighted if the weather was clear." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "The first naked eye sighting was at 5:40 pm EST (Sunset: 5:35 pm).  The western horizon was partly cloudy.  The horns were at 3:30 and 8:00 O'clock (3:30;5:00;8:00)." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "On the second day after conjunction (Tuesday) January 24, 2012 The New crescent of Rabiul Awal 1433 AH was NOT SEEN from Asssalaam Observatory Surakarta Central Java Indonesia. The sky was cloudy. We are all members of CASA (Assalaam Students Astronomy Club) and students from SHS Al-Islam 1 Surakarta about 50 persons.

The first of Rabiul Awal 1433 AH will be start on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 according to the goverment calendar."

وقال عضو المشروع السيد علام سلطان "Alhamdolillah, today (Tuesday 24 January 2012= 29 Safar 1433 in Pakistan), On my request, nearly 200 persons (members of the moon-sighting committees of our institute "JAMIA-TUR-RASHEED" + my friends + their companions) easily sighted the moon at  more than 10 places in 3 provinces (Balochistan, Punjab and Khebar-pakhtoon-khwa).
As it was fully cloudy or rainy in province Sindh therefore I could not sight it in Karachi and there is no positive report from any part of province Sindh.
Note 1: Chairman of central official moon sighting committee of Pakistan mufti munee-bur-Rahman told me on my mobile phone that as he also received positive reports therefore he announced officially that Wednesday 25 January 2012 is 1st Rabee-ul-Awwal 1433 in Pakistan. Safar month finished on 29th day.  
Note2 : After some days, inshaallah, a detailed report of this observation in Urdu will be available at www.esnips.com/web/moonnewsofjamiaturrasheed

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور عبد العزيز إبراهيم "Confirmed positive sighting in the northern areas of South Africa. The crescent was not seen in Cape Town although atmospheric conditions were fairly good." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد فردوس  مزلان "On Tuesday, 24th January 2012 M equal to 29 Safar 1433 H, my friend (Mohd Saiful bin Saidi, Mohd Redzuan bin Pandil, Muhammad Afiq bin Mohd. Safri) from Kuala Kedah, Kedah (06:06:0.6289 N , 100:17:22.0585 E) has seen the new moon with naked eye at 7.44 pm.

I with my friend (Mr. Nik Mohd Ridzuan bin Shaharuddin, Mr. Mohd Asrol bin A. Bakar, Mr. Lokman, Mr. Mohammad Haniff bin Md Yusoff, Mr. Asmanizam, Mr. Mohd Azrai, Mr. Muhammad Zainal Abidin bin Mohamad Hani, Mr. Azhar, Mr. Muinuddin, Mr. Muhammad Ibrahim bin Jamil, Mr. Azizi) cannot see the new moon either with telescope or with naked eye at Baitul Hilal, Teluk Kemang, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia (02:26:43.0 N , 101:51:16.0 E). It because the horizon is very cloudy. 

So, tomorrow, 25th January 2012 M (Wednesday) is 1st Rabi-al-Awwal 1433 H.

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "The weather has been bad for days and observation before sunrise was impossible.

After sunset the clouds got thinner and fast moving gaps of blue sky appeared. I setup a simple goto telescope, aligned with the sun (carefull here!) and then went to the position of the crescent. I tried for a few minutes to spot the crescent visually in the gaps, but did not succeed. So, i attached the camera and in the next gap could spot the crescent in the contrast-enhanced live-stream. Soon, the clouds closed again and that was it for the day." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "The eastern horizon was totally cloudy before sunrise this morning, so the waning crescent of Safar 1433 was not seen from York, UK."
