Certificate Misguided Dinar

Consider writing marked in the image below certification Dinar
 

 





 
It says:

"Printing these coins follow the rules of the Caliph Umar bin Khattab ra weighing 4.25 grams gold content of 91.7% and use of gold and silver to follow the guidance of the Qur'an and Sunnah".


 




 


It says:

"Gold is malleable follow piawaian Caliph Umar Al Khattab weighing 4.25 grams gold genuineness 91.7%. Usefulness of gold is to be instructed by the teachings of Quran and Sunnah."

What can be understood from the statement?

Most ordinary people would think that Umar Bin Khattab ra issued rules on the weight of dinars weighing 4.25 g and 91.7% purity.

But does it?

No. Umar bin Khattab was never issued a statement that the Dinar was weighed 4.25 g and 91.7% purity.

The statement of Umar related to Dinar and Dirham is the weight ratio of Dinar and Dirham, which weighed 7 dinars equivalent weight of 10 dirhams.

It is unfortunate that all statements - statements like the above are commonly written on the certificate - certificate of Dinar would lead to confusion and misunderstanding in the community.
