The Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca in 570 A.D. At the age of 40, in the month of Ramadan, he received his first revelation from God and three years later started to openly preach the revelations, proclaiming that "God is One", etc. Some of the tribes in Mecca were hostile against Muhammad, hence he and his followers escaped persecution by migrating to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622 A.D. This event is known as the "Hijra" and marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar.
