Why this date says “tentative”
Maulid un-Nabi 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 →
