Year numbering - Islamic calendar
The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and has a normal year length of about 354 days, significantly shorter than the solar year, so there is no simple conversion between Gregorian and Islamic year numbers. Moreover, the end of each month of the Islamic calendar depends on local observations, so different countries can and do follow different calendars.
- AH stands for Anno Hegirae, Latin for in the year of the Hijra. In AH 17, the year AH 1 was assigned to the year during which Muhammad emigrated from Mecca to the city of Medina.
- BH refers to years before AH 1. There is no year zero.
The 1st day of Muharram (the 1st month of the year) AH 1 was the 16th of July AD 622 in the Julian calendar. The 1st of January 2000 in the Gregorian calendar corresponded to the 24th day of Ramadan (the 9th month) AH 1420 in the tabular Islamic calendar.
