The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar, begins in the year 622 CE, which is the year of the Hijra, the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina. There is no year 0 in this calendar; it transitions directly from 1 BCE to 1 AH (Anno Hegirae). Thus, the year 1 AH corresponds to 622 CE in the Gregorian calendar.
