The document discusses the history and standards of the gold dinar and silver dirham currency. It argues that Muslims originally minted their own coins, with the dinar and dirham standards set by Umar ibn al-Khattab in the 7th century CE. Today, the World Islamic Mint aims to restore the dinar and dirham as a sharia-compliant currency backed by gold and silver. The document promotes the dinar and dirham as an alternative to fiat currencies and believes they will eventually be adopted on a global scale once fiat currencies fail.
