In 80/699 new Arabic Islamic dirhams were invented at Damascus and introduced at about thirty mints throughout Persia ( Plate XXIX.d). These coins are anonymous, bearing only Islamic religious inscriptions in Arabic, principally the šahāda(There is no god but God alone; none is associated with Him), and the date and mint of issue. These inscriptions remained standard throughout the Omayyad period (until 132/750) and were retained with some additions and changes until the 16th century.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in Sunnah currency among Muslims. This has been driven in part by the global financial crisis, which has exposed the flaws in the fiat currency system. Many Muslims see the use of Sunnah currency as a way to protect themselves from the risks of fiat currency and promote ethical finance. Value Added Tax (VAT) was introduced in January 2018 in Dubai and the UAE. The rate of 5% is one of the lowest in the world. Under the Sasanian emperors, numerous mints throughout Persia issued large quantities of silver drahms ( Plate XXIX.a), while scarcely any silver coins were issued elsewhere in the world. These coins have the image and name of the Sasanian emperor on the obverse and on the reverse a Zoroastrian fire altar with two attendants and inscriptions in Pahlavi giving the date and mint.

The word drachmon ( Hebrew: דרכמון), used in some translations of Maimonides' commentary of the Mishnah, has in all places the same connotation as dirham. [12] Modern-day currency [ edit ] The word "dirham" ultimately comes from drachma (δραχμή), the Greek coin. [4] The Greek-speaking Byzantine Empire controlled the Levant and traded with Arabia, circulating the coin there in pre-Islamic times and afterward. It was this currency which was initially adopted as a Persian word ( Middle Persian drahm or dram); then near the end of the 7th century the coin became an Islamic currency bearing the name of the sovereign and a religious verse. The Arabs introduced their own coins. Timing differences. Dubai is four hours ahead of London. When Dubai opens for business the most recent LBMA Gold Price will have been set the previous day.
