Abstract: Abstract The Muslim calendar begins in the year A.D. 622, when Muḥammad fled from his hometown of Mecca, very near the west coast of the Arabian peninsula, to Medīna, a city about 200 miles to the north. The doctrines of one God, called in Arabic Allāh (= The God), which he announced had been revealed to him by the angel Gabriel, had created considerable dissension in Mecca.
