وقال عضو المشروع السيد محمد عيسى موسى "تمت مشاهدة الهلال من طرف أعضاء الجمعية كما تم الاستعانة ببرامج المحاكاة من أجل تحديد مكان الهلال ومواقيت غروب الشمس والهلال " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "On Sunday, 25 December 2011 (29 Muharram 1433 AH) many people from throughout UK have attempted to sight the crescent moon (Hilal) of Safar after sunset. None of the groups were able to sight the Hilal, as most places were cloudy.

However, we have received reliable sighting report (Muhaqaq-Ruyat-Basari) from Morocco Awqaf Ministry via fax.

Therefore, the Wifaq/Batley Ulama have decided that the month of Muharram 1433 AH will have 29 days and the month of Safar 1433 AH will start from Monday 26 December 2011, Insha-Allah.

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "We arrived at our sighting location at 4:36 pm EST (sunset: 5:09 pm) and started scanning the expected crescent location, using a pair of binoculars (7X50).  Venus was sighted with the binoculars and with the naked eye at 4:40 and 4:49 pm, respectively.  The first crescent sighting was at 5:14 with the binoculars and at 5:20 with naked eye.  My son also sighted the moon soon after.  The western horizon was clear with some haze.  The horns were at 3:00 and 7:30 O'clock (3:00;5:00;7:30).  We left the location at 5:45 pm (moonset: 6:27 pm EST)."

وقال عضو المشروع السيد علام سلطان "Today (Sunday, 25 December 2011= Pakistan: 29 Muharram 1433) on my request, more than 150 persons ( members of the moon-sighting committees of our institute "JAMIA-TUR-RASHEED" + my friends + their companions) tried to sight the moon all over Pakistan nearly at 16 places but the moon could not be sighted. It was clear or little hazy in nearly all places.
Note 1: Chairman of central official moon sighting committee of Pakistan mufti Munee-bur-Rahman told me on my mobile phone that as they also did not receive any positive report hence they officially announced that Monday 26th December 2011 is 30th Muharram 1433 AH and Tuesday 27th December 2011 is 1st Safar 1433 AH in Pakistan 
Note 2: After some days, inshaallah, a detailed report of this observation will be available at www.esnips.com/web/moonnewsofjamiaturrasheed

وقال عضو المشروع السيد ظفار شريف "A huge cloud sat on western horizon. The crescent was not seen in Daressalaam, nor in surrounding areas." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور عبد العزيز إبراهيم "Crescent not seen from the Greenpoint lighthouse (6m elevation) and neither from the top of Signal Hill (360m elevation). Western horizon extremely hazy up to an altitude of 4 degrees." 

وقال عضو المشروع الأستاذ دكتور محمد سالم البوسعيدي "The sky conditions were excellent despite that we could not see it by our naked eyes (it could be due something wrong with our eye sight. However, we saw it with telescope very clearly. And we followed the crescent until it set below the western horizon. " 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد فردوس  مزلان "On Sunday, 25 th December 2011 M equal to 29 Muharram 1433 H, I with my friend (Mr. Mohammad Haniff bin Md Yusoff, Mr. Jamaluddin bin Abu Bakar, Mr. Asmanizam, Mr. Mohamad Fadzlan bin Yaacob, and Mr. Muhammad Zainal Abidin bin Mohamad Hani) 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, 26th December 2011 M (Monday) is 30 Muharram 1433 H.

However, base on Calculation (Hisab), our Government have announced the 1st Safar 1433 H on 26th December 2011 M (Monday).

As this moon had good conditions therefore it was seen at some places even 8 to 10 minutes before sunset. Generally it was clear countrywide."
