The 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.
What else can I help you with?
Are Muslims marginalised?
Currently, Muslims are mostly in developing countries. However, this doesn't mean that they are marginalized. Muslims contributed heavily in the advances of sciences and technologies; that we are enjoying now; during the Islamic civilization. Muslim countries are still the source of many energy and industrial resources that developed countries rely upon. Many Muslims are now working in developed countries and are participating in shaping their futures and occupying good jobs and scientific positions.
In what ways were the hijrah a turning point?
The emigration to Madinah was a very important step in the development of Islam. after Hijra, the proper Islamic state was developed and so the quranic commandments addressing communal affairs were revealed. Muhammad was able to concentrate solely on delivering the true message of Islam once he was away from the violence of Makkah. Hijra also saved the early muslism from the tyranny of makkans otherwise, the new religion would have perished in the dust of Makkah.

What is the significance of Islamic new year?
The Islamic New Year is a cultural event which Muslims observe on the first day of Muharram, the first month in the Islamic calendar. Many Muslims use the day to remember the significance of this month, and the Hijra, or migration, Islamic prophet Muhammad made to the city now known as Medina. Recently, in many areas of Muslim population, people have begun exchanging cards and gifts on this day, though this is not commonly done. Since the Islamic lunar calendar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Muharram migrates throughout the seasons. The estimated start dates for Muharram are as follows (all future dates are estimates and depend on sightings of the new moon), though strictly speaking the month starts at sunset on previous day.
