| Islamic Dictionary: Hijra |
The Islamic calendar, which is based purely on lunar cycles, was first introduced in 638 by the close companion of the Prophet and the second Caliph, 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab. The Hijra begins with the migration (Hegira ) of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622. The Hijra begins at July 16, 622. Islamic months begin at sunset on the day of visual sighting of the lunar crescent.
