According to Islamic Sources, Muhammad made the hijra in the year 622 C.E. according to the Western Gregorian calendar.

However, for a Muslim the answer is much easier, because the hijra marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. So a Muslim considers it the year 1.

What does AH mean after a year?

AH after year means After Hijrah. This is the Islam Calendar.The Hijra (هِجْرَة), or withdrawal, is the emigration of Muhammad and his followers to the city of Medina in 622, and marks the start of the Hijri year of the Islamic calendar. The current Islamic Year is 1430 AH.P.S: The Hijra is celebrated annually on 8 Rabi' I, about 66 days after 1 Muharram, the first day of the Muslim year. Many writers confuse the first day of the year of the Hijra with the date of the Migration to Medina itself, erroneously stating that the Hijra occurred on 1 Muharram AH 1 or 16 July 622.For more information on it, visit:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijri_yearJazak Allah Khair.AssalamOAlaikum (peace be onto you)
