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...

Problems I see with the current Dinar system



What problems I see with the current Dinar system?
1] I don’t believe the dinar should be priced according to the trading spot price, because they are trading paper on the exchanges and instead should atleast be fixed once a day with the fixed prices of London or New York. 
The continuous checking of the paper to metal value isnt practical, especially if done in a market place, as some type of stability is needed. Or better yet, have a stable value similar to how The American Open Currency Standard has it or Hugo Salinas-Price’s (President of the Mexican Civic Association for Silver) concept of it, seen in slide 9 of his presentation on ‘
How to monetize silver so that it can circulate permanently in parallel with paper and digital money’.

2] I believe that minted coins should be minted for the lowest price to spot/fixed price, which unfortunately I dont see with eDinar – Digital eDinar $203.66 while coin $224.12 (10% premium – reasonable) and Digital eDirham $4.17 while coin $9.17 (120% premium – ridiculous). Then for the coins to be shipped and handled, and possibly taxed, to other places in the world, means individuals purchasing the coins will have a very high premium to pay, and instead local mints should take up this task to keep premiums low. 

I purchased a Kelantan dirham during my trip to Cape Town, where the seller from Singapore had purchased it online from eDinar and had it mailed to him from UAE and had to pay import taxes. He sold the coin to me at 60 rand ($8.72) after checking the price online , when the price of 3 grams of silver was $3.59, resulting in me paying a premium of 143 percent.

3] With the World Islamic Mint located in Abu Dhabi and the eDinar Fz in Dubai, I dont see much of a push from their end to promote the availability of dinar/dirham in the Arab region, as I live in the UAE and cant walk into their office and purchase a coin or purchase it from a local jewellery shop. I must log into their website, verify who I am, and only then can a purchase a coin. 

Why such a run around, when I can easily go into a jewellery shop in Dubai and purchase a 8g 22k British Gold Sovereign coin with no questions. When they first launched in 2001, the coins were available in Thomas Cook Al Rostamani money exchange and in Dubai Islamic Bank, but unfortunately they are no longer available in these places.Shrimp-scampi-linguine.

What is dinar and dirham

  What is dinar and dirham Dinar and dirham are both units of currency that have historical and cultural significance in the Islamic world. Sclera-white-of-eye. The dinar is a gold coin that was first introduced in the Islamic Empire in the 7th century, and was used as the primary currency for centuries. The term "dinar" is derived from the Latin word "denarius," which was a silver coin used in the Roman Empire. The dinar was originally made of gold and weighed approximately 4.25 grams. The value of the dinar was based on its weight in gold, and it was used as a standard of currency across the Islamic Empire.

The term "dirham" is derived from the Greek word "drachma," which was a silver coin used in ancient Greece. The dirham was introduced during the Umayyad Caliphate in the 7th century, and was used as a standard unit of currency in many Muslim count...

Islamic Gold Dinar

Islamic Gold Dinar: The Historical Standard  Ahamed Kameel Abstract The-inner-workings-of-eye. Recently, inquiries have arisen regarding the specifications for gold dinar and silver dirham. As the dinar and dirham have historically represented the Shari’ah monetary standards since the era of the Prophet pbuh, our task will thus focus solely on the reestablishment of that classical standard.  From now on, no groups or organizations are allowed to create their own standards. As the Islamic gold dinar was established only around 50 years following the Prophet's pbuh passing, history clearly indicates that the solidus of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire served as the financial foundation for the Shari’ah.  Therefore, the most effective method to ascertain the standard is to examine the definition provided by its creator, the Byzantine Empire. Coins discovered by archeologists are unreliable for this purpose since they typically experience wear and potential tamperin...
