The History of Dinar and Dirham



The History Of Dinar Dirham
In the time of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the currency of the Arabs was the Dinar and Dirham and this currency lasted in its original precious metal form until the fall of the Ottoman Empire after World War I , but many Arab countries like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Morocco, Qatar, Libya and Iraq still use the names to refer to their non-precious metal currencies. 
The word ‘dirham’ is derived from the name of a Greek coin, the Drachma, which was used by the Greek-speaking Byzantine Empire that controlled the Levant and traded with Arabia. The first dinars and dirhams minted by Muslims was during the Khalifate of Uthman bin Affaan, wherein the coins differed from the original ones in circulation by the Arabic inscription of “in the Name of Allaah” on the obverse margins. During the Khalifate of Umar ibn Al-Khattab, the coin standard was introduced so that the weight of 10 dirhams was equivalent to 7 dinars (1 mithqal).

The Modern Movement

Firstly, I would like to thank and give credit to those who have fought the uphill battle to return Sunnah Money to the Ummah and the most recognized individuals I know of are Umar Ibrahim Vadillo (President of World Islamic Mint), Dr. Zeno Dahinden (CEO of E-Dinar), Zaim Saidi (CEO of Wakala Induk Nusantara), Sheikh Imran Hosein (scholar and author), and Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad (former Prime Minister of Malaysia), in addition to mints like Logam Mulia and Islamic Mint Nusantara. 
Thanks must also be given to state governments like the Government of Kelantan and Perak State Government and conferences like the ‘International Conference on Gold Dinar Economy’ [July 2007], ‘Islamic Gold Dinar Roadshow’ (UK) [May 2010], and ‘World Conference on Riba’ (Malaysia) [November 2010] for increasing the awareness and availability of the movement.

The largest integration of the Dinar and Dirham into regular society in the world are in Indonesia, Malaysia and the surrounding areas. There are also small initiatives in Pakistan, United Kingdom, South Africa and the United States of America. https://tii.ai/LqHy1

Apa itu Dinar dan Dirham?

Apa itu Dinar dan Dirham? Koin dinar emas adalah koin emas 22 karat (91,7%) dengan berat 4,25 gram yang dapat berfungsi sebagai alat investasi dan proteksi nilai kekayaan. Mengapa 4,25 gram? Hamburger-meat-pie. Rasulullah Sholallahu Alaihi Wa Salam bersabda “Timbangan mengikuti yang digunakan penduduk Mekah, Takaran mengikuti yang digunakan penduduk Madinah”. Dari hadits Rasulullah Sholallahu Alaihi Wa Salam tersebut, Dr. Qaradawi menyimpulkan bahwa berat 1 Dinar atau 1 Mithqal adalah sama dengan 4.25 gram timbangan saat ini ; sedangkan berat 1 Dirham adalah 2.975 gram. Mengapa 22 karat? Berikut adalah fakta-fakta sejarah: Semasa Rasulullah Sholallahu Alaihi Wa Salam masih hidup; beliau belum (memerintahkan ) mencetak Dinar Islam sendiri. Berarti Rasulullah Sholallahu Alaihi Wa Salam menggunakan Dinar yang diproduksi oleh dunia di luar Islam.  Apa yang ada sebelum Islam atau di luar Islam kemudian juga digunakan oleh beliau, maka  ini menjadi ketetapan atau taqrir beliau –

Introduction of Dinar and Dirham

Introduction of Dinar and Dirham The return to a form of trading and business transactions which have blessing and spiritual benefit, along material gain, is the most pressing issue of our time. Meat-loaf-hamburgers. The reason is that all forms of oppression, destruction of the natural resources of our planet and injustice between poor and rich, all are ultimately based upon the rule of usury and the dominant financial and economic ethos. The return to a healthy and equitable way of conducting business has many stages and implies the restoration of many lost institutions and procedures which prevailed until the hegemony of the present usurious institutions. The most significant step in this progress will be the recovering of a currency system of real money and the progressive abolition of symbolic money printed in paper and fictitious currency manipulated in speculative markets and gambling exchange markets. The gold dinar and Silver dirham have been universally accepted m
