ان احترم وجهة نظر جميع الناس اللي ردوا .. بس يا جماعه انا طرحت موضوع علمي بحت وكنت اتمنى الرد بنفس الاسلوب.
وهذي الردود اللي وصلت بالنسبه ليوم الخميس حسب موقع اللجنه. واللي يبي يقطها براس عالم ويطلع منها سالم اهو حر بس الانسان مخير وليس مسير. ومعنى هذا الكلام ان لا يقلد الانسان تقليدا اعمى بل يفكر ويبحث ويقرر بنفسه الصواب من الخطأ.
وانا الحمدالله اني كنت صائم اليوم مو اتباعا لأحد بل عن قناعة ويقين حسب موقع الهلال بالافق واستحالة الرؤيه.
وعيدكم مبارك وعسى الله ان يتقبل منا ومنكم صالح الاعمال

Moonset was before sunset, and angle from sun was less than 6 degrees, when no light from the surface of the moon can come to earth.

Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti (MCW member) from Oxford, UK, reported: Not Seen, 30 days will be completed
Negative sighting. The two of us attempted to perform the obligatory sighting tonight for the UK on 29 Ramadan or Thursday, 11th of October, after Maghrib prayers--in spite of the fact that the crescent is not expected to be visible locally. The local horizon is partly cloudy. We received reports of negative sightings from Morocco, Indonesia and Malaysia tonight. The authorities in Malaysia and Indonesia have declared that the month of Ramadan is to complete its 30 days. There is no news of positive sightings tonight anywhere East to our longitude, which means that those in the UK should try to complete the month of Ramadan with the Tarawih tonight, and that the first day of 'Id al-Fitr should fall on Saturday, 13th of October. 'Id Mubarak!

Sharaaz Khan Qadri (MCW member) from Wilton(Sacramento) California, reported: Not Seen
I went out to look for the crescent on Thursday evening but the Sacramento horizon was overcast and I believe it was the same in the Bay Area. Sighting was not possible from Sacramento/Wilton. In the light of the fact that the moon was not sighted anywhere in the US, our local masjid along with many others accross the nation that started Ramadan on Thursday Sept 13, will complete thirty days and observe Eid ul-Fitr on Saturday October 13.
Mirza Shahid Basravi (MCW member) from Irvine, California, reported: Not Seen
I went to a vantage spot within Irvine, California, where I could see the sun go down to zero degrees without any obstruction. There was a slight haze in the western horizon but not any more than what it was when we spotted the Ramadan New moon. I had started to look for the Moon crescent with my 7 x 35 binocular, even when the sun was between 1 and 0 degrees above the horizon. The sun disappeared by my cell phone watch at 6:21PM. Per all astronomical reports the moon would set within 5 minutes of the sunset. However, I stayed out there till 6:37PM and scoped a wider area; both vertically and horizontally, just in case the astronomical calculation are inaccurate. After all this effort I was unable to spot the new moon crescent on Thursday October 11, 2007.
