Interesting fact
The Kharijite dynasty, also known as the Idrisid dynasty, was a Muslim dynasty that ruled over the western Maghreb region (present-day Morocco) from 788 to 985. The Kharijites were known for their strict adherence to Islamic law and their opposition to the Umayyad Caliphate, which they saw as corrupt and heretical. The Dirham coin , which was issued by Khalaf b. al-Muda' in 791-792, is a rare example of a Kharijite coin that has survived to this day. It is made of silver and weighs 2.55 grams, and its design reflects the Kharijite emphasis on simplicity and avoidance of ornamentation. Despite their strict adherence to Islamic law, the Kharijites were known for their tolerance and acceptance of other religions, and their coins often featured symbols and imagery from other cultures, such as the crescent moon and star motif that is common on Islamic coins.
