Counting down to Nuzul Al-Quran
What Nuzul Al-Quran marks
In Islam, the exact date of Muhammad's first revelation is disputed, but it is generally believed by Muslims to have occurred in 610. According to Islam, while isolating at the Cave of Hira during a retreat to Jabal al-Nour near Mecca, Muhammad was visited by the angel Gabriel, who revealed to him the beginnings of what would become known as the Quran. Thus, at the age of 40, Muhammad's religious career as the "Seal of the Prophets" had begun.

Why this date says “tentative”
Nuzul Al-Quran follows a lunar or observation-based calendar, so its Gregorian date cannot be fixed far ahead. The day depends on a moon sighting or an official announcement, which is why calendar feeds — including the one in Google Calendar, where most people first see the label — publish an estimate marked (tentative). It is not an error: it is the calendar being honest that the date may still move by a day or two, and neighbouring countries can observe it on different days. Read the full explanation →

What does “(tentative)” mean for Nuzul Al-Quran?
It means the date is an estimate rather than a confirmation. Nuzul Al-Quran follows a lunar or observation-based reckoning, so the exact day depends on a moon sighting or an official announcement that has not happened yet. Expect it to move by up to a day or two, and treat it as a strong estimate rather than a guarantee.
Is the Nuzul Al-Quran 2027 date confirmed?
Not yet. The date shown is provisional and is usually confirmed by the relevant authority days to a few weeks beforehand. Check an official public-holiday list before booking anything that cannot move.
