After consultation\, Umar chose the Hijrah (migration) of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE as the starting point of the Islamic calendar. \nHijrah (migration) was a turning point in Islamic history\, as it marked the establishment of the first Muslim community (ummah) in Medina. This migration symbolized faith\, sacrifice\, unity and the struggle for justice\, values central to Islam. Thus\, Year 1 AH (Anno Hegirae) began with the Hijrah (migration) . \nThe Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar with 12 months and 354 or 355 days. The first month is Muharram\, and the first day of Muharram marks the Islamic New Year. Because it is lunar\, the New Year shifts 10–11 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar. \n \nMonths in the Islamic Calendar?\nThe Islamic calendar\, also known as the Hijri calendar\, is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months based on the cycles of the moon. Each month begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon. \n1. Muharram: One of the four sacred months in Islam\, where fighting is prohibited. Ashura is on the 10th of Muharram.\n2. Safar: Historically\, some believed this month to bring misfortune\, though this is not supported in Islam.\n3. Rabi' al-Awwal: Significant for the birth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)\, observed as Mawlid al-Nabi on 12th.\n4. Rabi' al-Thani or Rabi' al-Akhir: Often used for reflection and continuing spiritual growth.\n5. Jumada al-Awwal: A time for normal daily worship and acts of kindness.\n6. Jumada al-Thani or Jumada al-Akhir: Continues the cycle of spiritual and communal life.\n7. Rajab: Another sacred month\, during which warfare is prohibited. Significant for the Isra and Mi'raj.\n8. Sha'ban: Preparatory month for Ramadan\, often observed with increased fasting and worship.\n9. Ramadan: The holiest in Islam. Month of fasting\, prayer and increased devotion.
