The Islamic calendar (Arabic: التقويم الهجري) is a lunar calendar and it is used to determine islamic holidays in most of Islam. It has 12 months, and 354 or 355 days. This means that each year, the calendar is about 11 days shorter than a solar calendar, like the Gregorian.
Islamic years are often called hijra years, because the first year of the calendar when the hijra occurred, that is when Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) went from Mecca to Medina.
The current Islamic Calendar year is 1442 AH (AH = Anno Hegiræ = Hijri year).
