It became year one in the Islamic calendar
The Prophet Muhammad's migration from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar in 622 CE. The Hijra is a significant event in Islamic history as it symbolizes the establishment of the first Muslim community. The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar, is based on the lunar cycle and is used to determine important dates and holidays in the Islamic world.

The Islamic Calendar has a year of only 354 days, so it can never be the same length as a solar year (usually calculated with the Gregorian Calendar with an average of years length of 365.24 days). However, the date on the Islamic Calendar and on the Gregorian Calendar will correlate every 34 Islamic Calendar Years which correspond to 33 Gregorian Calendar Years.
