It started the year of the emigration of the prophet Muhammad (saw) from Makkah to Madinah. This was 1431 lunar years ago this year 2010 CE. However the Hijri calendar is about 11 days shorter than the zodiac calendar as it is based on 12 lunar cycles.

The hijrah was calculated as being roughly 622/623 CE.

Hijra is the migration of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Mecca (Makkah) to Yethrib (called later Medina or Madinah) per God (Allah in Arabic) command to him when informed by God that the tribes of the unbelievers in Mecca plotted to assassinate him. This hijra occurred in year 622 AD and marked the first year of the Islamic Lunar Calendar that is called Hijra Calendar.
