dinar dan dirham

semasa sesi berbuka puasa last week, topik berkenaan matawang dinar dan dirham yg telah dikeluarkan di Kelantan telah diutarakan.. teruja dgn berita tersebut, aku berminat ingin mengetahui berapa nilai dinar dan dirham jika diukur dengan ringgit malaysia:

1 dinar = rm600
1 dirham = rm10

dikatakan di zaman serba moden ini, kita kurang memegang duit kertas di tgn sendiri.. kbykan urusan berlaku di sebalik tabir, di sebalik mesin²: wang masuk ke akaun A, wang keluar ke akaun B, paypal, kad kredit debit etc.. katakan satu hari mesin tersebut rosak, kita hilang trace, hilang reference, berapa duit yg kita ada, tiada siapa yg dapat tentukan..

lain pula keadaannya dgn dinar dan dirham, matawang yg sentiasa mempunyai nilai dan stabil kerana dibuat dari emas dan perak.. di bawah, sedikit sejarah mengenai isu ini:


In the beginning the Muslims used gold and silver by weight and the dinar and dirhams that they used were made by the Persians. History has demonstrated repeatedly that paper money has been a permanent instrument of default and reducing the wealth of the Muslims. In addition, Islamic Law does not permit the use of a promise of payment as a medium of exchange.

Gold and silver are the most stable currency the world has ever seen. From the beginning of Islam until today, the value of the Islamic bimetallic currency has remained surprisingly stable in relation to basic consumable goods: A chicken at the time of the Prophet, salla’llahu alaihi wa sallam, cost one dirham; today, 1,400 years later, a chicken costs approximately one dirham. In 1,400 years inflation is zero. Could we say the same about the dollar or any other national currency in the last 25 years?

In the long term the bimetallic currency has proved to be the most stable currency. It has survived, despite all the attempts by governments to transform it into a symbolic currency by imposing a nominal value different from its weight.

jadi di sini baru aku faham apa yang cuba dismpaikan oleh pemimpin Kelantan. mudah atau sukar proses nya, akan dilihat kemudian.. hoho, jgn kelantan tiba² jadi sebuah negara sendiri sudah la ek.. =p
