How many years have passed since the hegira in 622 AD?

The hegira, also known as the Hijra or the Migration, refers to the journey of the Prophet Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Medina in the year 622 AD. It marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar, and the year 622 AD is considered the first year of the Hijri era.

To calculate the number of years that have passed since the hegira in 622 AD, we need to subtract the year 622 from the current year. For example, if the current year is 2023, the calculation would be:

2023 - 622 = 1401

Therefore, as of 2023, 1401 years have passed since the hegira in 622 AD.
