Year 1 AH[1] was 14 lunar years after the year of Bi'tha (beginning of prophet Muhammad's (s) mission).[2] Year 1 AH started on Friday, July 16, 622 CE and ended on Monday, July 4, 623 CE in the Julian calendar.[3][4]

In this year the Prophet Muhammad (s) and his followers migrated from Mecca to Yathrib which was later called Medinat al-Nabi (city of the Prophet). This migration led to foundation of the first Islamic community and later on was considered as the epoch of the Islamic calendar. The first mosque in Islam and also Masjid al-Nabi were built in this year.
