Answering Questions in KUIS (formerly KISDAR)-Seri Putera.

On the way back from attending to matters in Seremban-NS, I'd attended a Talk conducted by Dinar & Dirham activists Hj.Khairudden Husin and Hj. Mazli Alias at Auditorium Akademi Pengajian Islam - Kolej Universiti Islam Selangor(KUIS), Bandar Seri Putera on Friday,29 July 2011. Talk was entitled:-
Topic 1: " Riba' & Cabaran Umat Islam Masa Kini " by Haji Khairudden Husin.
Tajuk 2: " Kebangkitan Dinar & Dirham di Malaysia " by Haji Mazli Alias

Due to Haji Mazli's insistence and despite my initial reluctance, had the privilege of being a Panelist during the Q&A Session answering some banking, accounting, legal and general questions posed by Undergraduate students vis-a-vis Dinar&Dirham and the present Malaysian Islamic Banking System.


( Q&A Panel: Haji Khairudden Husin, Haji Mazli Alias & AHM )


A session that was supposed to end at 11pm...ended way past midnight due to the interest shown by the students. Due to time constraints, we weren't able to answer all the questions posed. Hence, the speakers hopes for a repeat invitation to clarify whatever is left unanswered.

An incident that will forever be etched in my mind was when a Johorean student who'd followed me to the restroom with an enlightened/petrified look on his face wanting to pose some difficult questions... which hopefully I'd resolved for him.

TQVM to the KUIS Student Council for organising the talk and also for the kind invitation.

DinarDirham Event at Bukit Damansara-KL!

Today, I went to my first Dinar&Dirham Market/Bazaar at Bukit Damansara mosque(Masjid Saidina Umar Al-Khattab) organised by Kelantan Golden Trade jointly with the World Islamic Mint(WIM) & Jawatankuasa Penaja Koperasi Dinar.

Transactions were conducted mainly in Dinar&Dirham(D&D) of Kelantan and for those without any Dinar or, Dirham to trade can exchange RM for D&D from Hj. Awaludin.

All in there were 10 stalls offering the normal mix of Food & Drinks, Books, Toiletries & Cosmetics, Clothing & Sports Equipment, Islamic Calligraphy & Stickers and other varieties of merchandise.

In addition, there were talks on the usage of Dinar & Dirham where some participants also shared their experience in using/promoting D&D.

A proposed co-operative called Koperasi Dinar (KODINAR) is also to be formed.


Apart from the usage of D&D, I'd also learnt how an Islamic market/bazaar operates. For example:-
1) There must be a Muhtasib. ( Read: Muhtasib )
2) The prohibition of arbitrage within a certain distance from the bazaar.
3) the prohibition of monopoly/bulk buying from a trader and reselling it in the market.

Towards the end of the Bazaar, the winner of a contest was announced...the prize was 1 Dirham, sponsored by WIM.

Morning till Noon Time Well Spent.

Subsequently, met Hj.Awaludin and became an Agent/Wakalah for Kelantan's Dinar&Dirham.
