1428 is in Muslim date(AH) and it converts to 2007 AD

Countries in the Arabic peninsula generally use Muslim era(AH) for their dating, which commenced on 622 AD when the prophet Mohammed fled from Mecca to Medina. To convert the AH to AD, we subtract 3% of the AH date and then add 622. The muslim calendar has 354 days as it is a lunar calendar and thus it is 2.98% shorter than our year.
