At first people do not know the money, so do the exchange between goods and services in barter samapai they receive guidance from Allah SWT to make money. Then Allah created the goods of gold and silver mines as the value for each property. Dinar and Dirham serves as a medium for measuring commodity prices, while also working for a medium of exchange and deposit transactions of wealth.
The Greeks made "commodity money" is distributed among them. Then they make gold and silver bullion in the form of printing money until the start of the year 406 BC. Their primary currency is made of silver drachmas. The Romans in the period before the 3rd century BC. use a currency made of bronze, called aes (aes aes Signatum Rude). They also use currency coins made of copper. Then they scored Denarius of gold, which later became the main currency of the Roman empire were printed in 268 BC knew.
Nations adopted the Persian nation printing money from Lydia after their attack in the year 546 BC. Printed money from gold and silver with a ratio (ratio) 1:13,5. One thing that makes rising value of gold from silver. The money originally rectangular and then they change into a round and they carve it on carving a place of worship and place of the flame. The Arabs in the Hijaz at the time of Ignorance does not have its own currency. They use the currency they earn a Gold Dinar Hercules, Byziantum and Silver Dirham Sasanid dynasty from Iraq, and some nations currency Himyar, Yemen. While the population of Mecca memperjual not buy gold dinar but that is not forged and not processed.
At the time of the Prophet Muhammad was sent as a prophet and apostle, he established what has become traditional inhabitants of Mecca, the gold dinar and silver dirham and coins (copper coins) is the currency in force since the time of the Prophet Muhammad currency continues to be used in a variety of transactions needs and trade until the paper currency (paper money), exactly after World War I in 1914 AD Since then, many countries no longer use the gold dinar and silver dirham as currency and medium of exchange, although some countries still use the name of the dinar to a currency countries such as Kuwait, but the state-shaped Dinar banknotes
Etymologically, the word money in the Arabic translation nuqud has several meanings: good, delay or cash opponent's tempo, which provides paid immediately. Mentioned in the hadith: al-tsaman Naqadani (نقدني الثمن (ie he is paying the price with cash.
The word money (nuqud / money) is not contained in the Qur'an nor the Hadith al. Because the Arabs use the word for the currency gold dinar and dirham for silver currency. They also use the word wariq to show the silver dirham and the 'ain for the gold dinar. While the word money is used to indicate an additional currency to buy cheap goods.
The fiqh scholars refer to the currency by using the word dinar, dirham and filthy lucre. To show the dinar and dirham they use the word naqdain (mustanna). According to Al-Sarkhasy (Al-Mabsuth: 14), nuqud only be used for transactions on the values contained, nuqud therefore can not be valued based on the object. So the definition of money is what is used by humans as a standard of value pricing, the media and media transactions deposits. Thus it seems clear that the money from the perspective Fakih define their functions in the economy, namely: a. As a standard value of commodity and service prices; b. As a medium of exchange of commodities and services; and c. As a means of savings.
In conclusion, the currency is every thing which confirmed the government as money and give it the force of law which is to meet dependents and obligations, and widely accepted. While money is more common than on the currency, because it covers the same currency and with the money. Thus, each currency is money, but not any money currency.
Islam does not specify a particular currency to be run by Muslims, even if the Messenger of Allah said dinar and dirham currencies does not mean that should be practiced only limited to the type that's all. This can be seen from several aspects. First, all the religious text that mentions the word Dinar and Dirham not mention the only means of transaction. Secondly, the characteristics muamalah (transaction) is dynamic, creative human being handed over to the extent not do evil. Because basically muamalah is kosher. Third, the bill can dianalgikan (qiyas) with a dinar in aspect as a standard of value, medium of exchange and saving tool.
Velocity of money always use banking services, including Islamic banks. Sharia banks that use paper money, either in the form of Rupiah, Riyal, Ringgit or Dollar sharia can not be said to not even mention usury. For assessment of sharia, or whether a transaction can be viewed from two sides. That is the stuff that becomes the object of transactions and how to transact. The transaction object that diharam such as unclean or memudlaratkan. While the way transactions are forbidden because the wrongdoers, whether krn fraudulent, deceptive or gambling. As for usury regarding the added value, either because of time-based (riba nasi'ah) or because the amount is (usury fadl). So not exactly menyebuk sharia Islamic banks do not run because it uses paper money. But Islamic banks still need to improve their quality.
