List of Islamic years
This is a list of Hijri years (Latin: anno Hegirae or AH) with the corresponding common era years where applicable. For Hijri years since AH (/ CE), the Gregorian date of 1 Muharram, the first day of the year in the Islamic calendar, is given.
The first Hijri year (AH 1) was retrospectively considered to have begun on the Julian calendar date 15 July (known as the 'astronomical' or 'Thursday' epoch, Julian day 1,,) or 16 July (the ‘civil’ or 'Friday' epoch, Julian day 1,,), denoted as "1 Muharram, AH 1". Years prior to this are reckoned in English as BH ("Before the Hijra").[1]
In principle, each Islamic month begins with sighting of the new crescent moon (after a New Moon) at sunset. Because of this, the calendar is dependent on observational conditions and cannot be predicted or reconstructed with certainty, but tabular calendars are in use which determine the dates algorithmically. Because of this, dates may vary by up to two days between traditions or countries.

The Islamic New Year (Arabic: رأس السنة الهجرية, Raʿs as-Sanah al-Hijrīyah), also called the Hijri New Year, is the day that marks the beginning of a new lunar Hijri year, and is the day on which the year count is incremented. The first day of the Islamic year is observed by most Muslims on the first day of the month of Muharram. The epoch (reference date) of the Islamic era was set as the year of the emigration of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijrah, which equates to CE in the Gregorian calendar.[1] All religious duties, such as prayer, fasting in the month of Ramadan, and pilgrimage, and the dates of significant events, such as celebration of holy nights and festivals, ar
