DINAR DAN DIRHAM SEBAGAI PILAR KEJAYAAN EKONOMI ISLAM

Abstract

Islam provides various conveniences to human affairs, including in mu'amalah. However, Islam has actually denoted a certain unit for the exchange of goods, namely the unit of money. In the economic history of Islamic countries, the Prophet (peace be upon him) has affirmed the importance of the existence of money as a good instrument of buying and selling. The writing of this article is descriptive analysis, which is a procedure for solving problems through drawing, elaboration, description, and explanation, as well as the implementation of analysis that includes situations or conditions. In Islamic history, money has been an instrument of trade in the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) when he became the leader of the Islamic state in Medina. Evidence of the strength of the stability of the dinar and dirham currency system has been proven by history. The application of gold and silver currencies as standard basic financial units is one solution in overcoming the economic crisis because dinars and dirhams contain intrinsic value equal to their face value.
