The same weight for 1,300 years

In the 690s the caliph Abd al-Malik had new coins minted: gold dinars of 4.25 g and silver dirhams of 2.975 g, with glass weights to check them. Scholars still count the Nisab in these coins: 20 dinars, or 200 dirhams.

How it's worked out

  1. First, the coins are weighed.

    20 dinars × 4.25 g = 85 g of gold. 200 dirhams × 2.975 g = 595 g of silver. Both weights are valid; use the one your scholar follows.

  2. Then, today's price is put on each gram.

    Silver USD 1.6628 a gram, gold USD 131.3866 a gram.

    From the international spot prices per troy ounce (31.1035 g): silver USD 51.72, gold USD 4,086.58. Refreshed once a day, last 6 Nov 2026.

  3. So today's Nisab is

    USD 989.37in silver: 595 g × USD 1.6628

    USD 11,167.86in gold: 85 g × USD 131.3866
