This is not a question - it is a statement. The Islamic Calendar, called the Hijri System, counts years based of the date of Mohammed's flight to Medina from Mecca in 622 C.E., as opposed to Mohammed's birthdate in 570 C.E. or the birth of Islam, which Muslims hold to have begun at the beginning of time and non-Muslims hold to have begun in 610 C.E.

What is the Hijra year now in Muslims countries and why?

AnswerThe year according to Islamic calendar (or Hijra Calendar) is 1430 AH compared to 2009 AD according to Gregorian Calendar.The Hijra calendar is a lunar calendar (that is composed of 12 lunar months totaling 354 or 355 days). It is used in many Muslim countries to date the Islamic events and to celebrate festivals. The start of Hijra calendar (or Islamic Calendar) is marked by the Immigration (Hijra in Arabic) of Prophet Mohamed from Mecca (or Makkah) to Medina in year around 622 AD (Gregorian Calendar) when prophet Mohamed was informed by God that the tribe leaders in Mecca plotted for his assassination and was commanded by God to immigrate to Medina. The birth of Prophet Mohamed is dated as 53 BH (Before Hijra).The Islamic calendar is currently used in Muslim countries primarily for religious purposes to date the Islamic events, to celebrate festivals, and for official dating of public events and documents.
