However, the Hijri calendar was created after 6 years after Prophet Muhammad’s death which was 11 years after Hijrah. So, then the Prophet instantly told his followers to migrate in small groups from Mecca to Madina, so when the anti-Muslims were informed and knew of the Muslims’ plan, they decided and plotted that they will gather one day at night in order to kill Prophet Muhammad before he migrates, but their plan has failed, and by so this was the emergence of Hijrah. The reason behind Prophet Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Al Madina was that the infidels or the anti-Muslims were torturing any Muslims in Mecca, and they were planning to kill Prophet Muhammad. Hijrah is when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) completed his migration from Mecca to Yathrib in Al Madina Al Monawara in 622 A.D which marks the beginning of the Hijri calendar. The Islamic calendar has been named the Hijri calendar and is known among most Muslims by this name, as the name Hijri calendar refers to the Hijrah.

There is an 11 to 12 days difference between a Solar Calendar and a Lunar calendar, which is why the Hijri calendar consists of 12 months, 354 days, 8 hours, 48 minutes, and 34 seconds. The Islamic calendar is a Lunar calendar, meaning that unlike the Solar calendars Lunar calendars are the type of calendars that is based on the cycles and phases of the moon. Islam has its own Islamic calendar, which is the Hijri calendar and it has been created in 622 A.D. There are many calendars from all around the world, and some of these calendars are related to and based on religion.
