Summary
What we regard as the final decade of the 1500s was for the Ottomans the dawn of a new era, in more than one sense of the word. Overlapping with the years 1591 and 1592 AD came the thousandth anniversary of Mohammed's flight from Mecca to Medina, as reckoned in lunar years. In other words, the Muslim world entered upon the year 1000 AH: the beginning of the new millennium. Although the year 1000 inspired a wave of millenarian prophecies in the Muslim world as it had among Christians some six hundred years before, the calendrical revolution passed without a corresponding revolution in human affairs, at least at first.
