List of Islamic years


This is a list of years in the Hijri era with the corresponding common era years where applicable. Years in this list are lunar years since the Hijrah, counted according to the lunar Hijri calendar. For Hijri years since 1297 AH, the Gregorian date of 1 Muharram, the first day of the year is given.
The first Hijri year was retrospectively considered to have begun on the Julian calendar date 15 July 622 CE, denoted as "1 Muharram, AH 1". Years prior to this are reckoned in English as BH.
In principle, each month in the lunar Hijri calendar begins with sighting of the new crescent moon at sunset. Because of this, the calendar is dependent on observational conditions and cannot be predicted or reconstructed with certainty. The tabular [Islamic calendar], which determines the dates algorithmically, is used directly in some traditions and as an estimation in many computer systems. Because of this, dates may vary by up to two days between traditions or countries.
