(Din) Hicret: Hz. Peygamber Aleyhissalâtü Vesselâm'ın Mekke'den Medine'ye hicret etmesi. İslâmiyetin ilk zuhurunda, şeref ve izzetleri zedelenen Mekke'deki putperest müşrikler daima Hz. Peygamber'e su-i kastlar tertipliyorlardı. Bu yüzden Peygamber Efendimiz (A.S.M.) Mekke'yi bırakıp Medinelilerin dâvetini kabul ederek Hz. Ebu Bekir (R.A.) ile birlikte 622 senesinde hicrete mecbur oldu. Bu seneye Hicret senesi denildi. İslâm takvimlerinde tarih bu seneden başlar ve buna hicret yılı veya hicrî yıl denir

Calendar system used in Islam

In the Muslim calendar the year is only 354 days long, 11 days shorter than the Western calendar system. This is because of its lunar system, where every year consists of exactly 12 moon cycles. The other common name of the Muslim calendar is hijra, referring to the fleeing of the Prophet Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib (later Madina). The hijra calendar starts counting its days starting on July 16, 622 CE, which is the estimated date of Muhammad's flight to Yathrib. http://lexicorient.com/e.o/islam_cal.htm.
