Correct Answer is :

B. The migration of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Mecca to Medina

Description:

The Hijra marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar.

In 622 CE, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his followers migrated to Medina to escape persecution, which led to the establishment of the first Muslim community.

As mentioned in Sahih Bukhari (1:6), the Prophet said, “A person is a Muhajir (emigrant) who gives up all that Allah has forbidden.“
