Where is the value of the Tunisian Dinar compared to the Gold Dinar of the Caliphate?
News:
Head of Government, Sarah Zaafarani, affirmed during a joint public session to present and discuss the draft financial law for the year 2026 and present the government's statement, that the Tunisian dinar is the strongest currency in Africa in terms of nominal value against the dollar, despite the fact that Tunisia does not benefit from oil wealth or high-value exports like countries in the region, according to her.
Comment:
Whoever hears this statement imagines at first glance that Tunisia is living in prosperity and its people are enjoying good things, fully satisfied with their basic and luxury needs, but they, like the rest of the peoples of the green continent of Africa, live in poverty and dependence, unable to satisfy their basic needs of housing, clothing, and food, so what about the luxury and additional needs?
So what is the intention and what does the Head of Government want to convey through this statement? What is the value of African countries' currencies compared to the dollar, the euro, and other hard currencies, so that we can compare the dinar to them? Do the countries with which trade exchanges take place accept the Tunisian dinar as a currency for exchange and payment? What is the value of the Tunisian dinar today compared to other foreign currencies such as the dollar and the euro, which are used in import and export operations?
The Tunisian dinar, which was adopted as the country's currency after the alleged independence, like other currencies that were adopted in all Muslim countries after the Caliphate was overthrown and divided into weak states, is only a tool to colonize peoples, plunder their wealth, and keep them under the capitalist system from which the sharks of money feed, and it is only a mandatory paper that represents only 5% at most of the value it contains compared to people's efforts and products, according to economic experts, so it is a tool to steal people's money and sweat. Today, Tunisia and the rest of the African peoples live in poverty and dependence, even though this continent is the richest continent, and they and the rest of the Muslim countries will not get out of what they are in except by returning to the gold and silver standard in currency, which was imposed by the system of Islam.
The gold and silver standard alone is capable of eliminating monetary problems, severe inflation, and creating monetary stability and fixed exchange rates, and progress in international trade. This is what the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, adopted in currency during the time of Prophethood, and after him the Rightly Guided Caliphs, may God be pleased with them, during their rule and the state of Islam until before its overthrow in 1924 AD, and it was the standard that the world adopted until the late nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century until this standard was completely abolished by US President Nixon and the dollar was replaced with it.
This will only happen in a state that has sovereignty over its decisions and policies, brings together the scattered Muslims, replaces these illusory mandatory papers with a currency based on gold and silver, applies the rulings of Islam, and carries its message of guidance and mercy to the worlds.
