So I had to do some research but I think I found something out.
First I wondered why have an Islam day? Second knowing that dates mean something most of the time I had to do some digging to find this. Why Sept 24th?

September 24, 622

This migration, called Hijra in Arabic, started on September 24, 622. This marks the beginning of Islam, and the Muslim calendar starts with this date.

So now you know.
