Years prior to AH 1 are reckoned in English as BH ("Before the Hijrah"), which should follow the date. In predominantly Muslim countries, it is also commonly abbreviated H ("Hijra") from its Arabic abbreviation hāʾ ( هـ). In the West, this era is most commonly denoted as AH ( Latin: Anno Hegirae / ˈ æ n oʊ ˈ h ɛ dʒ ɪ r iː/, 'in the year of the Hijra') in parallel with the Christian (AD), Common (CE) and Jewish eras (AM) and can similarly be placed before or after the date. This event, known as the Hijrah, is commemorated in Islam for its role in the founding of the first Muslim community ( ummah). It begins its count from the Islamic New Year in which Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to Yathrib (now Medina). The Hijri year ( Arabic: سَنة هِجْريّة) or era ( التقويم الهجري at-taqwīm al-hijrī) is the era used in the Islamic lunar calendar.
