Abstract

The paper that I am writing is about the possible change in the nature of the current monetary system prevalent in many of the countries, including Muslim as well. The nature of the change that I will further elaborate in details will be in the form of the implementation of new monetary system, where gold will be playing the dominant role replacing the position currently held by paper money. The issue of adopting Islamic gold dinar system is one of the hottest and pertinent issues nowadays, because many developing countries, headed by majority of Muslim countries, are contemplating about the possible change to Islamic gold dinar system as one of the ways to shield their economies from external economic attacks and reduce the dependency from the west.

I hope that after reading this paper, the reader will be convinced that Islamic gold dinar system is the best alternative monetary system for many developing countries, including Muslim.
