Today, July 16 in 622 A.D. was the beginning of the Islamic Calendar. Muhammad and his Muslim followers left Mecca and migrated to Medina, a trip that is traditionally called the Hijra.
The Islamic Calendar.
I could not find a clip of the Hijra from the 1977 film "The Message" (with Anthony Quinn as Muhammad's uncle) so I choose this clip of the entrance of the Islamic Ummah into Mecca, which took place in 632 A.D.
