Dinar Quotes

Ne znam s kim se vi družite, ali ja već više meseci, kako sednem za neki sto, čujem kukanje. Žale se ljudi na dinar, na cene, na penzije, na situaciju ovde ili tamo, na mlade, na stare... I kukaju... Sve mi je dosadnije, zato, da se viđam i da se srećem. Pa mi je lepše da se zatvorim u svoju sobu...da prelistam neku poštenu knjigu i da još malo verujem, đavo ga odneo, da na svetu ima i lepih stvari... A ima ih. Verujte

A third group of people see the highest felicity in the abundance of property and the extension of ease. After all, property is an instrument to achieve the object of appetite. Through it, the human being attains the ability to achieve wishes. Hence, these people aspire to gather property; to increase estates, land, valuable horses, cattle, and farmland, and to hoard dinars in the earth. Hence, you will see one of them striving throughout life --- embarking on great dangers in the deserts, on journeys, and in the oceans to gather possessions with which he is niggardly toward himself, to say nothing of others. These are the ones meant by the words of The Prophet: "The slave of the dirham is miserable: the slave of the dinar is miserable." What darkness is greater than that which deceives the human being? Gold and silver are two stones that are not desired in themselves. When wishes are not achieved through them and they are not spent, then they are just like pebbles, and pebbles are just like them.

dinar drastically appreciating overnight as Iraqis became more confident in the currency given that no central bank could print it anymore.

Muslim caliphs Arabicised this name and issued ‘dinars’.

Muslim caliphs Arabicised this name and issued ‘dinars’. The dinar is still the official name of the currency in Jordan, Iraq, Serbia, Macedonia, Tunisia and several other countries.

The conditions that surrounded this youth in the airy fastnesses of the Dinaric Alps all made against the hopes he nursed of becoming an electrician ; and not the least impediment was the fond wish of his parents at Siniljan Lika that he should maintain the priestly tradition, and benefit by the preferment likely to come through his uncle, now Metropolitan in Bosnia.

Many historians regard him [Offa] as the most powerful Anglo-Saxon king before Alfred the Great. In the 780s he extended his power over most of Southern England. One of the most remarkable extantfrom King Offa's reign is a gold coin that is kept in the British Museum. On one side, it carries the inscription Offa Rex (Offa the King). But, turn it over and you are in for a surprise, for in badly copied Arabic are the words La Illaha Illa Allah ('There is no god but Allah alone'). This coin is a copy of an Abbasid dinarfrom the reign of Al-Mansur, dating to 773, and was most probably used by Anglo-Saxon traders. It would have been known even in Anglo-Saxon England that Islamic gold dinars were the most important coinage in the world at that time and Offa's coin looked enough like the original that it would have been readily accepted abroad.

La nora encengué un foc de llenya i un cop fet força caliu hi va posar algunes lloses de pissarra -de llicorella, deien ells- després d'untar-les d'oli copisament. Un cop roents hi estengué els conills espellats i espaterrats, ben espolsats de sal. Jo em mirava tot allò com si estigués veient els preparatius d'un dinar de l'època paleolítica, de l'autèntica Edat de Pedra! Amb l'allioli que mentre els conills es rostien havia fet el vell -en un gran morter també de pedra-, no recordo haver menjat cosa més rica en tots els dies de la meva vida.

Abdullah Ibn Dinar relates, "Once I was walking with the Caliph Omar near Mecca when we met a shepherd's slave-boy driving his flock. Omar said to him, "Sell me a sheep." The boy answered, "They are not mine, but my master's." Then, to try him, Omar said, "Well, you can tell him that a wolf carried one off, and he will know nothing about it." "No, he won't," said the boy, "but God will." Omar then wept, and, sending for the boy's master, purchased him and set him free, exclaiming, "For this saying thou art free in this world and shalt be free in the next." There

I wish you could see our fireworks,” said Glycine. “They’re spectacular, big enough to watch from dozens of habitats at once.” Dinar laughed. “Beautiful explosions must be a universal art form.” Rhamnetin shrugged, bobbing on his chairs. “Fire is the first step toward technology. Who wouldn’t make art with it?

Abu'd-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), say, 'Allah will make the path to the Garden easy for anyone who travels a path in search of knowledge. Angels spread their wings for the seeker of knowledge out of pleasure for what he is doing. Everyone in the heavens and everyone in the earth ask forgiveness for a man of knowledge, even the fish in the water. The superiority of the man of knowledge to the man of worship is like the superiority of the moon to all the planets. The men of knowledge are the heirs of the Prophets. The Prophets bequeath neither dinar nor dirham; they bequeath knowledge. Whoever takes it has taken an ample portion.'" [Related by Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi; Riyad al-Salihin: 1388]

Once, a righteous poor man had a dream in which two men asked if he wanted the hidden treasure of 1,000 dinars beneath a tree. He inquired, “Is there Barakah in them?” When they said no, he declined the offer, saying he didn’t need them. The next evening, the two men reappeared in his dream, now offering the remaining 500 dinars under the tree. Again, he asked about Barakah, and when they told him there was none, he turned down their offer. This pattern continued for several nights, with the treasure’s amount decreasing each time. Finally, the two men asked if he wanted the last two dinars left under the tree. As before, he questioned: “Is there Barakah in them?” This time, they said yes. Eagerly, he asked for the treasure’s location. The next morning, he went to the spot shown in his dream and discovered the two dinars. With the two blessed dinars in hand, he went to the market and bought a fish to take home. Upon cutting it open, he found a precious jewel inside the fish’s belly, worth thousands of dinars.

Aquell bisbe substitut venia de l'Amèrica del Nord, i tenia una dona que no es trenava els cabells. Pel que sembla, va dir a la congregació que no creia en l'existència literal del cel i de l'infern. Alguns dels membres de la congregació van sospitar d'ell i, alarmats, el van fer fora de la colònia. Però abans d'anar-se'n encara va tenir temps de dir-los que no solament no creia en el cel i en l'infern, sinó que estava convençut que cap membre de la congregació hi creia de debò. Els va demanar que alcessin la mà els qui tenien un fill esgarriat, un de rebel que havia abandonat la colònia o un que havia manifestat que no tenia fe. Se'n van alçar unes quantes. Aleshores, el substitut va adreçar la pregunta següent als que s'havien manifestat: Si estimeu els vostres fills i esteu convençuts que quan es morin cremaran al foc de l'infern durant tota l'eternitat, com podeu restar aquí asseguts tan tranquils? Com podeu tornar a casa i gaudir d'un dinar boníssim a base de vernike i platz que us ha preparat la dona i relaxar-vos després a sota de l'edredó de plomes a fer una maddachschlop (migdiada), sabent que el vostre fill aviat cremarà per sempre més, esgargamellant-se en un sofriment etern? Si hi creguéssiu veritablement, no faríeu el que estigués a les vostres mans per aconseguir que es penedís, que acceptés sincerament Jesucrist i que obtingués el perdó? No regiraríeu cel i terra a la recerca d'aquests fills perduts, dels qui han deixat la colònia, o dels qui n'han estat expulsats, dels qui erren pel desert proverbial, dels qui considereu pecadors però continuen sent fills vostres, carn de la vostra carn i sang de la vostra sang, les vostres estimades criatures?

Munk Szondi used his unique knowledge of Levantine commodities to make money. According to the rules of the game, anything of value could be used in the betting. Thus when a pile of Maria Theresa crowns and chits representing Egyptian dried fish futures were on the table, Szondi would overplay his hand simply to get the fish. For Szondi invariably knew that Persian dinars were due to weaken in the next few days in relation to dried fish, and that a handsome profit would be his if he discounted the Maria Theresa crowns in Damascus, doubled the value of his fish futures by buying dinars on the margin in Beirut, sold a quarter and a third of each in Baghdad as a hedge against customs interference on the Persian border, and then saw to it that his courier with the fish futures arrived in Isfahan on Friday, a market day, when the fish futures would be most in demand.

Even one item from the Torah is worth several thousand gold dinars (Midrash haGadol, 14th century Yemen).

Even as the flames raged, Baybars sent a triumphant letter to Bohemond, who had not been present at the siege. He mocked him for having lost his right to call himself “Prince,” then described the atrocious punishment that had befallen his city. Had Bohemond been present to defend his people, said Baybars, “you would have seen your knights prostrate beneath the horses’ hooves, your houses stormed by pillagers and ransacked by looters . . . your women sold four at a time and bought for a dinar of your own money! You would have seen the crosses in your churches smashed, the pages of the false Testaments scattered, the Patriarchs’ tombs overturned. You would have seen the Muslim enemy trampling on the place where you celebrate the Mass, cutting the throats of monks, priests and deacons upon the altars . . . you would have seen fire running through your palaces, your dead burned in this world before going down to the fires of the next . . . Then you would have said ‘Would that I were dust, and that no letter had ever brought me such tidings!’”20 This was more than mere rhetoric. Antioch’s days as a leading city of the Syrian northwest were over.

My coup came years later in the narrow Italian Hospital street in Amman, where the balconies are so crowded with second-hand clothes that they seem to touch. I was back in western clothes, once again a foreigner. A young trader with a barrowful of socks was calling out, ‘Joozeen jerabat ib dinar.’ When he saw me glance at the barrow, he called out in English, doubling the price, ‘Two pairs of socks; two dinars.’ This attracted more attention so there was quite an audience as I replied, not missing a beat, ‘Ya’ani, itha bishtiree bil arabi ahsen li.’ (So if I buy them in Arabic I’m better off). Even the barrow boy laughed and I felt quite at home.   Opposite

I was sitting with Abu Darda' in the mosque of Damascus. A man came to him and said: Abu Darda, I have come to you from the town of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for a tradition that I have heard you relate from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I have come for no other purpose. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the learned man over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets leave neither dinar nor dirham, leaving only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion.

Bacha Bereesh As the music grew louder and the men grew bolder, Vaj was ready to take center stage. Since he was a little older and more experienced than I, he mixed traditional Indian dance styles with Arabian folk techniques. The Indian swirled and twirled like a professional batcha to an audience of rowdy applause and cheers of wolf whistles. As his dancing progressed, he began disrobing without hesitation while his admirers showered Bahraini dinars at him.

Go offline, focus on yourself, treat yourself, exercise, go into the nature, watch the bird in the sky, drink water, pray, laugh until you cry, cry until you laugh again, dress how you want, set your boundaries, be free.

in May 2011 in Algeria, a judge “stunned the Christian community” by sentencing Siaghi Krimo, a Muslim convert to Christianity (an apostate), to a five-year prison term and a fine of $200,000 Algerian dinars—even though prosecutors had only asked for a two-year imprisonment and a $50,000 dinar fine. Krimo’s crime was to give a CD about Christianity to a Muslim (proselytism), who later claimed the CD insulted Muslim prophet Muhammad (blasphemy).37 Even

Em 2003, quando os Estados Unidos invadiram o Iraque, o bombardeio aéreo destruiu o banco central do Iraque e, com ele, a capacidade do governo iraquiano de imprimir novos dinares iraquianos. Isso levou o dinar a se valorizar drasticamente da noite para o dia, quando os iraquianos ficaram mais confiantes na moeda, uma vez que nenhum banco central conseguiu imprimi-lo52. Uma história semelhante aconteceu com os xelins somalis depois que o banco central foi destruído53. O dinheiro é mais desejável quando comprovadamente escasso do que quando passível de ser depreciado.

The learned are heirs of the prophets, and the prophets do not leave any inheritance in the shape of dirhams (silver) and dinars (gold), but they do leave knowledge as their legacy. Such a person who acquires knowledge, acquires his full share.» (a sound hadith recorded by Abu Dâwood and at-Tirmidhi)

* The dollar is on the skids, and there is talk of a new currency marker – perhaps the Iraqi dinar?

Three years ago!” he yelled, and all of the emotion seemed to hit at once. “You sent me one letter in four years, Dinar! And I defended you! I defended you to all of them – Mother, Father, Tomaas, even the other families in Parejon that came asking. I told them you were well and happy and doing great, important things. Convinced them it was all for the best. But I have no idea why, because you hurt me worst of all.

The only one you protected was yourself,” he snapped, the words choking out before he could stop them. “Yes,” Dinar hissed back. “I did protect myself.” Something dark and angry flickered in her eyes. “It was about damn time I learned to do that.

The dirham or dirhem was a coin of pure silver weighing 2.97 grammes, and worth one-tenth of a dinar. It was minted both in North Africa and in Central Asia under various dynasties. It was standard currency in Eastern Europe in the era before local mints existed. Hoards of dirhams have been found all over European Russia, Ukraine, Byelorussia, the Baltic States, Sweden, and northern Poland. The largest of them contained over 50,000 coins. Buried by their owners in times of insecurity, they sometimes remained uncollected until found by modern archaeologists and treasure-hunters.

Ketika agama dan Tuhan disingkirkan dari kamus perjuangan pemberdayaan perempuan, pikiran dan hawa nafsu akan menjadi rujukan. Ketaatan dan ibadah akan dinilai sebagai penindasan. Keikhlasan dalam berbagi tidak jarang dipandang sebagai kebodohan. Kemungkaran dan kemaksiatan dipuja sebagai kebebasan dan kemajuan perempuan

Perempuan harus berani, Dinar. Kita bikin revolusi.

Seems Ace has blown into Fiume aboard a 976 cc Royal Enfield plus sidecar, forced after a good deal of sentimental bikerly brooding to admit that this current ride is no substitute for his old Harley Flathead, which, though less of a coherent machine than a history of maintenance melodramas each waiting its turn to be enacted, he now misses heartbroken as a cowboy in a song, convinced by now that it is Bruno Airmont who’s responsible for its loss, seeing how it was Bruno who chased them into Vladboys territory to begin with, and thus obvious to anybody that Bruno must also bear the cost of its replacement, estimated at 200 quid, which Ace will accept in dollars, dinars, Reichsmarks, or if necessary—such is the state he’s worked himself up into—blood. “Actually I can do without the blood, too much cleanup, just the sucker’s head would be enough.
