From what day do Muslims calculate their calendar?

Muslims start their calendar from Friday, July 16, A.D. 622.

This was the day that Muhammad and his early followers made their hijrah, or emigration, from Mecca to Medina.

They were forced to leave Mecca because of opposition to Muhammad’s teachings.
