The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and does not use BC and AD. The present year (2011) is 1433.
The Islamic calendar, also known as the Muslim calendar, is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Being a purely lunar calendar, it is not synchronized with the seasons. With an annual drift of 10 or 11 days, the seasonal relation repeats about every 33 Islamic years. It is used to date events in many Muslim countries (concurrently with the Gregorian calendar), and used by Muslims everywhere to determine the proper days on which to fast Ramadan and perform Hajj, in addition to celebrate other Islamic holy days and festivals. The first year was the Islamic year beginning in 622 CE during which the emigration of the Islamic prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijra, occurred. Each numbered year is designated either H for Hijra or AH for the Latin anno Hegirae (in the year of the Hijra).[1] The current Islamic year is 1433 AH, from approximately 26 November 2011 (evening) to 14 November 2012 (evening). It is also called the Hijri calendar, (Arabic: التقويم الهجري‎; at-taqwīm al-hijrī; Persian: تقویم هجری قمری ‎ taqvim-e hejri-ye qamari; Turkish: Hicri Takvim; Urdu: اسلامی تقویم Islami taqwīm; Indonesian: Kalender Hijriah; Malay: Takwim Hijrah)
The AD year sign indicated the number of years since the traditionally reckoned date of birth of Jesus Christ. The AH year sign is an Islamic calendar reference with the first year beginning in AD 622. During this year the Islamic Prophet Muhammad emigrated from Mecca to Medina.

The term "synchronize" is unclear. 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.
The important year is the year of immigration (Hijra) of prophet Muhammad from Mecca (Makkah) to Medina per God command and when told by God that the unbelievers in Mecca are plotting to assassinate him. This was the year 632 AD. The immigration or Hijra year marked the starting of the Islamic Lunar Calendar or Hijra Calendar for its importance.
