==The Date of the Hijra==
Many sources erroneously claim that the hijra, the date on which Muhammad and a small number of his companions secretly left Mecca, and after a journey of some two weeks arrived in Yathrib (later to be known as Madinat al-Nabī [‛The City of the Prophet’], Medina in English), occurred on 1 Muharram, 1 AH. However, the date of the hijra is not mentioned in the Qur'an or in other early Islamic texts. Later traditions, such as mentioned in the Hadith (collections of sayings and actions of the prophet and his companions), early biographies of Muhammad and Islamic astronomical/chronological tables suggest that the hijra occurred in the last days of the month Safar (probably on the 24th) and that Muhammad and his companions arrived at the outskirts of Yathrib on the 8th day of the month Rabī‘ al-Awwal on a day when the Jews of Yathrib were observing a day of fasting, and after resting for a few days, entered Yathrib on the 12th day of month Rabī‘ al-Awwal.
Converted to the Julian calendar, and taking into account the intercalary months (probably three) which were inserted between the hijra and the last pilgrimage of Muhammad (10 AH), the hijra probably occurred on Thursday, 10 June (622 CE), and Muhammad's arrival at the outskirts of Yathrib probably occurred on Thursday, 24 June (622 CE). Muhammad's entry into Yathrib probably occurred on Monday, 28 June (622 CE)http://www.phys.uu.nl/~vgent/islam/islam_tabcal.htm
