Comment

Citing the name of Caliph Al-Amin

Interesting fact

The Dirham coin , which was issued during the reign of Caliph al-Rashid (796-798 CE) and weighs 2.94 grams, features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Al-Rashid, the Commander of the Faithful" on one side, and "There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner" on the other side. This inscription reflects the Islamic beliefs of the Abbasid Caliphate, which was a powerful and influential empire that spanned across much of the Middle East and Central Asia during its time.
