Islam originated in the early 7th century CE (c. 610–632 AD) in Arabia through the revelations of Prophet Muhammad, not the 15th century. The 15th century (roughly 1400–1499 AD) was a significant, later period marking the rise of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires after the Mongol collapse.
Origin: Islam began in Mecca and Medina, with the Hijra (migration to Medina) in 622 CE marking the start of the Islamic calendar.
The 15th Century in Islam: This period (9th century AH) saw the "renaissance" of Shi'i Islam and the peak of the Ottoman Empire.
15th Century Hegira: Note that "15th century of the Hegira" refers to the era starting in 1980 AD, as the Islamic calendar is lunar and distinct from the Gregorian calendar.
