Wealth, Power , Zakat and Dinar

Wealth, like power, is only borrowed from Allah, and He lends it to man on condition that he use it well and does not use it to spread corruption on the earth. 

If he does, then it is only a matter of time until He strips it away from him, as the US is now learning, and lends it to others - those who who acknowledge la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah and that the entire affair belongs to Him. 

Those who see that with power comes responsibility - the Muslim umma. The Muslim umma, which has been asleep for almost a century, is reawakening. Life and light is returning to the great metropolises of Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Indonesia. 

The fallen pillar of zakat is being re-established, gold and silver are being minted, and with them true leadership has returned. The nasr - the help - of Allah is close at hand.

IPOH: 1 Mac 2011

 

Perak yesterday launched the gold dinar and silver dirham coins for investment and saving transactions.The coins were officially launched by Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.

Kelantan was the first state in the country to launch dinar and dirham on Aug 12 last year as an alternative currency. Zambry stressed the coins were not launched as a currency but for diversifying investment, a hedge against inflation, as an option to be used as marriage dowry, as corporate gifts and medals for achievements.

“Global inflation is on the rise and gold has shown to be a good hedge against it… price of gold rises during times of economic distress and turmoil.”A gramme of gold was RM30 in 2000 but now it is hovering at RM130. Silver price has been quadrupling in the past 12 months and the appreciation is 12.5 per cent more than gold.

“Our gold dinar and silver dirham are 99.99 per cent pure, ” he said in his launch address.
Also present was GoldNet International Sdn Bhd executive chairman Datuk Rais Hussin Mohamed Ariff. The coins are minted by Mariwasa Kraftangan in Kuala Kangsar. The task of launching the coins was given to GoldNet International Sdn Bhd, jointly-owned by Gold Net (M) Sdn Bhd and Perak e-Organisation Sdn Bhd (a Perak State Economic Development Corporation subsidiary).
