The word "Qarn" (century/horn) has different meanings. It can refer to a specific period or a particular era. Its connotations range from ten years to one hundred years. The preferred meaning, as stated in "Lisan al-Arab" and "Al-Qamus al-Muhit," is one hundred years. Accordingly, the first century extends from year 1 to 100, the second century from 101 to 200, and so on.
