What Is Money In The Quran?
Here's a gold coin 🪙
Surat No 3 : سورة آل عمران - Ayat No 75
..اِنۡ تَاۡمَنۡہُ بِدِیۡنَار.....if you entrust him with a [single] gold coin...
And here's a silver coin ⚪
Surat No 12 : سورة يوسف - Ayat No 20
وَ شَرَوۡہُ بِثَمَنٍ ۢ بَخۡسٍ دَرَاہِمَ مَعۡدُوۡدَۃ...
And they sold him for a price- silver coins few...
Prophet PBUH give a definition of money that
From ‘Ubada ibn al-Samit: The Holy Prophet said: “Gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt for salt – like for like, equal for equal, and hand-to-hand; if the commodities differ, then you may sell as you wish, provided that the exchange is hand-to-hand.”
[Muslim, Kitab al-Musaqat, Bab al-sarfi wa bay’i al-dhahabi bi al-waraqi naqdan, #3853; also in Tirmidhi]
What's common in all of these?
No 1: that value of all of them are inside them, they have an intrinsic value,
No 2: they are equal on both sides,
For example
"once Bilal (RTA) had 2 bags of low quality dates he sold those 2 bags of low quality dates for one bag of high quality dates, and offered them to the prophet PBUH, the prophet PBUH said
"Bilal where did you get these dates, these are very high quality dates",
Bilal RTA said
"yaa rasool-Allah I had 2 bags of low quality dates so I sold them for 1 bag of high quality dates",
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri said that Bilal brought the Prophet some Barni dates, and when he asked him where he had gotten them he replied: “I had some inferior quality dates so I exchanged two Sa's(bag) of them for one Sa’(bag) (of this).” The Prophet responded: “Ah! This is the very essence of Riba, the very essence of Riba! Do not do so, but when you wish to buy, sell the dates in a separate transaction, then buy with what you get.”
(Bukhari, Muslim)
So we learned from this Hadith that the money had intrinsic value in the transaction but was not equal on both sides, so it was haram.
In an another Hadith prophet PBUH said "if you're giving loan to someone and he offers you some food then don't eat from it because it's Riba unless he used to offer you food before as well, if you're giving loan to someone and he offers you a ride then don't embark on that ride because that is Riba unless he used to offer you a ride before as well"
And he also said that"there are 70 forms of Riba and the lowest form of Riba is equivalent to committing zinaa with your mother "
Now let's get back to the paper money,
If I take a piece of paper 📄 and put a number on it like 100 (rupee)
And I take another piece of paper 📄 and put a number on it like 500
And I take another piece of paper 📄 and put a number on it like 1000
And I take another piece of paper 📄 and put a number on it like 5000
What am I doing I am giving a fake value to things
Do they have value or is it just a number?
Is the paper money that we are using OK?
To put it easily I'll give you an example of 2 men, both work extremely hard for a whole month and at the end of the month they both demand their salary,
man 1 takes one lakh rupees,
The man 2 demands his salary in Sunnah money, one dinar (gold coin) 🪙,
1 lakh rupees 💵 is = one Camel,
One dinar 🪙 = one Camel
They both put their money in a secure place,
Then after 5 years they take their money out,
now the man 1,
he can't buy a Camel with it, he can only buy a Goat,
But the man 2 can still buy a Camel,
So they both decide to put their money back in a secure place,
Then after 5 years they take their money out,
The man 1,
now he can't buy a Goat anymore he can only buy a donkey now,
But the man 2 can still buy a Camel,
So they both decide to put their money back in a secure place,
Then after 5 years they take their money out,
now the man 1,
he can't buy a Donkey anymore, now he can only buy a chicken,
But man 2 can still buy a Camel,
So they decide to put their money back in a secure place,
Then after 5 years they take their money out,
now the man 1,
He can't even buy a Chicken anymore.
But the man 2 can still buy a Camel with his dinar 🪙,
in Surah Al-Kahf I noticed that the people of the cave had some money in their pockets when they went in the cave and slept there for 300 years, and when they were awake after 300 years they could still buy food with it,
This is how the people of the cave had a value of their money even after 300 years,
The paper money that we are using today is haraam it's Riba it's fraud.
By taking a piece of paper and assigning a number on it does not give it any value, the value of money should be inside the money,
This is a weapon designed by the west to take control of the world, they can steal your wealth without even touching your money,
What should we do we can't convince the governments to use the Sunnah money, but we can take individual precautions, whenever we get a salary we should convert it into something that has value inside of its own, the best things are gold and silver,
Once we did that then nobody can steal our money, then if they want to steal our money they have to come physically,
The prophet PBUH said "I'm leaving behind 2 thing's 1 is Allah's book and the second is my Sunnah, if you hold on to these you will never go astray"
Looks like we have abandoned both.
And Allah knows best.
When the British became the ruling state in the world the bank of England started to issue paper as money.
although that is a long story how did that happened but the we will skip that part that
"why Bank of England started to issue paper as money"
At that moment all of humankind used gold and silver as money, but the British government gave them paper in exchange of gold and they said "these are the checks for your gold"
For example 20 pounds for the one ounce of gold,
And they made a fool of everybody and took as much gold as they can,
When the British empire collapsed and the US replaced the British empire as the ruling state in the world they did the same thing what British did they said "now you can exchange US Dollar into gold and gold into US dollar" $20 for 1 ounce of gold
And they have written on their dollars that "in God we trust" meaning that we give our word by God,
I think it was 1979 or close to that period the president announce "that all the people have gold must exchange their gold into US dollar in 48 hours if not then they will be fine or prisoned for the 7 years", when the government took all the gold they can they announced that "now the people can take there is gold back 35 dollars for 1 ounce of gold" like that US government stole almost half of their own people's wealth.
And later after a few years.
They made a law that "from now on no individual can exchange their money into gold only government's can exchange their money into gold"
And US had gold of lots of countries
And they convinced Saudi Arabia in a deal that all Saudi oil will be bought in US dollars,
If someone wants to buy Saudi oil in gold, they can't get it, if someone wants to buy Saudi oil in diamonds he can't get it, he can only buy it in US dollars, but for America it's absolutely free. All they have to do is print more paper and exchange it for oil.
But when a country came to get its gold from America worth 3 billion dollars I think it was Germany or France,
The US President refused to give their gold back, because he knew that next in line would be Saudi Arabia and india and Britain and Russia,
And he gave more checks (meaning US dollars) than he had money (meaning gold) in his account because he has been printing paper and getting everything for free.
So the president of US announce the in his speech that "we gave our word but we don't have to keep our word"
When we use paper as money it's in their control to increase its value or decrease its value, whenever they want to bring a government down they attack the paper money to make inflation.
They can steal your money without even touching your money.
Crypto currency is worse than paper money
But guess what, in Israel gold and silver is a legal currency, you can demand your income in gold and silver in Israel
When the US dollar will collapse all of paper money will collapse with it, then Israel will control all the wealth of the world as the next superpower
It's all linked
All the gold is being Transported to Israel,
Because it's written in the Torah that "when the messiah comes there will be piles of gold in the Jerusalem"
Which is we know will be"dajjal"
And Allah knows best.
