List of Islamic years

This is a list of years in the Hijri era (Latin: anno Hegirae or AH) with the corresponding common era (CE) years where applicable. Years in this list are lunar years since the Hijrah, counted according to the lunar Hijri calendar (known in the West as "the Islamic calendar"^[a]). For Hijri years since 1297 AH (1879/1881 CE), the Gregorian date of 1 Muharram, the first day of the year is given.

The first Hijri year (AH 1, the epoch of the era) was retrospectively considered to have begun on the Julian calendar date 15 July 622 CE),in the Julian calendar.^[1][2][b] denoted as "1 Muharram, AH 1". Years prior to this are reckoned in English as BH ("Before the Hijra").^[5]

In principle, each month in the lunar Hijri calendar 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. 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.

Notes

1. There is more than one "Islamic calendar", though the Lunar Hijri calendar predominates. The other major one is the Solar Hijri calendar, which counts solar years since the Hijrah.
2. 1 Muharram of the new fixed calendar corresponded to Friday, 16 July 622 CE, the equivalent civil tabular date (same daylight period) in the Julian calendar. The Islamic day began at the preceding sunset on the evening of 15 July. This Julian date (16 July) was determined by medieval Muslim astronomers by projecting back in time their own tabular Islamic calendar, which had alternating 30- and 29-day months in each lunar year plus eleven leap days every 30 years. For example, al-Biruni mentioned this Julian date in the year 1000 CE.^[3] Although not used by either medieval Muslim astronomers or modern scholars to determine the Islamic epoch, the thin crescent moon would have also first become visible (assuming clouds did not obscure it) shortly after the preceding sunset on the evening of 15 July, 1.5 days after the associated dark moon (astronomical new moon) on the morning of 14 July.^[4]
