The calendar started from the date of the migration to Medina, it could have been from the date of the revelation of the Quran or from the year of birth of the prophet (pbuh) but no it was from the date that they migrated to Medina, why?
Well from the day they migrated (Hijrah) to Medina, it meant that Islam had found its own state, one from which Muslims could be ruled with the Sharia i.e. the authority of Islam was established. This meant that the law of the creator was placed firmly on the land enabling the muslims to live in security and more importantly they lived in a society that was fair to each and every citizen, even non-muslims.
The current Islamic year is 1435 we will be in 1436 very soon, we pray that Allah (swt) restores the authority of Islam very soon so that we can live in harmony with one another!
