  Dirham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically, the word "dirham" is derived from 'dirhem', itself coming from the name of a Greek coin, the Drachm; the 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 an Arab word; 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 dirham was struck in many Mediterranean countries, including Spain, and could be used as currency in Europe between the 10th and 12 centuries.

The foreign exchange value of the UAE dirham reflects the value of the dollar, with any devaluation of the dollar significantly eroding the purchasing power of UAE residents and citizens in three significant ways.
However, since UAE interest rates are rock bottom and to the dirham peg, savers in the UAE suffer through no fault of their own when local inflation rises.
Three, the UAE is a globally mobile society and a fall in the value of the dirham reduces the purchasing power of UAE residents against non-dollar currencies.

 DIRHAM
The standard of the new Islamic dirham was fixed in Persia, perhaps as a compromise, at "weight of seven" or 7/10 of the old standard, usually between 2.80 and 2.85 grams though there are heavier dirhams, up to 2.95 grams, resulting from local variation.
Commencing with the ¿Abbasid caliphate (132/750), a series of changes in the appearance and weight standard of the dirham were made, ending with the beginning of the reign of al-Mo¿tasáem (218/833), when the dirham, as well as the gold dinar, was fixed in the form it would retain until the 11th century.
The weight standard of the dirham continued to be defined as 7/10 of this metòqa@l of 4.25 grams, and the 7:10 ratio between the weight of the silver dirham and the gold dinar became a tenet of Muslim ˆar^¿a law.

 Usig the Dinar and Dirham
The Dinar and the Dirham should be separated for the time being from the political process.
On the other hand, because of the intrinsic value of the Gold Dinars and Silver Dirhams, it is perfectly feasible that the practical validation of their use as a medium of exchange will supersede their validation by institutions.
Since all transactions are immediate and occur directly between individual account holders, settlement is automatic thus eliminating the possibility of fraud and the need for third party mediation as is the case in banking.
