It results from subtracting the year of the hijra, stated as 622 AD, from the current year.

Any error is my own.

What, then, is the AH year in "the rest of the muslim world"?

Answer to #19 and 20.....

It is 1425 on the muslim calendar, which is a lunar calendar.

Here's some info on calculating .........http://i-cias.com/e.o/islam_cal.htm

The Persian calendar is solar. It is year 1383.
Afghanistan may use this calendar also, but I'm not sure.
