Kila Dola hupitisha kipimo maalum cha kitu fulani, likifanywa msingi ambao bidhaa na kazi huhusishwa nao na ambao kwa huo hupimwa. Dola hiyo huunda kipimo hicho katika umbo na mtindo mahususi kwake, pamoja na uzito na thamani iliyowekwa. Jamii, tangu zama za mwanzo kabisa, zimetengeneza kipimo hiki cha vipimo kutoka vitu vyenye thamani halisi. Zilipitisha dhahabu na fedha kuwa kipimo ambacho bidhaa zote na kazi zote huhusishwa nacho, kwa sababu dhahabu na fedha vina thamani halisi duniani kote. Zikatengeneza vipande vya sarafu kutoka kwake, vyenye umbo na mtindo mahususi, pamoja na uzito na thamani maalum na iliyowekwa.

Each State adopts a specific unit of something, making it the basis to which goods and labour are related and by which they are measured. It coins the unit in a specific form and fashion which are specific to it along with a fixed weight and value. Societies have, from the earliest times, made this measuring unit from things with intrinsic value. They adopted gold and silver as a measure to which all goods and labour are related, because gold and silver have intrinsic value in the whole world. They coined currency pieces from them with a specific form and fashion as well as a specific and fixed weight and value.

Dola inayopitisha vitengo vya dhahabu au fedha kama msingi wa sarafu yake inafuata mfumo wa metali. Ikiwa inafanya kitengo cha dhahabu kuwa msingi wa sarafu yake, ambayo inatengeneza kama sarafu yake yenyewe, basi inafuata kanuni ya dhahabu au Kiwango cha Dhahabu. Ikiwa inafanya kitengo cha fedha kuwa msingi wa sarafu yake, ambayo inatengeneza kama sarafu yake, basi inafuata Kiwango cha Fedha. Ikiwa inafanya kitengo cha dhahabu na kitengo cha fedha, vikiwa pamoja kando kwa kando, kuwa msingi wa sarafu yake, ambayo inatengeneza kama sarafu yake, basi inafuata kanuni ya dhahabu na fedha au Kiwango cha Metali Mbili.

The State which adopts gold or silver units as the basis for its currency follows the metallic system. If it makes the gold unit the basis for its currency which it coins as currency for itself, then it follows the gold principle or gold Standard. If it makes the silver unit the basis of its currency which it coins as its currency, then it follows the silver standard. If it makes the gold unit and silver unit-beside each other-as the basis for its currency which it coins as its currency, then it follows the gold and silver principle or the bimetallic standard.

Kwa upande wa Dola ambayo inachukua sarafu ya karatasi kama fedha yake, ili bidhaa na kazi zibadilishwe nayo, inafuata kiwango cha sarafu ya karatasi. Iwapo karatasi inayochapishwa nayo, kama pesa na sarafu, inawakilisha dhahabu au fedha, Dola inafuata kiwango cha sarafu ya karatasi inayowakilisha. Iwapo karatasi inayochapishwa na kutengenezwa nayo kama sarafu yake ina dhamana ya dhahabu au fedha sawa na sehemu maalum ya thamani yake, basi inafuata kiwango cha sarafu ya karatasi ya aina iliyodhaminiwa.

As for the State which adopts paper currency as its currency such that goods and labour are exchanged with it, it follows the paper currency standard. If the paper it prints, as money and currency is representative of gold or silver, the State follows the representative paper currency standard. If the paper it prints and makes as its currency has gold or silver backing equal to a specific proportion of its value, it follows the paper currency standard of the secured type.

Ikiwa sarafu inayotolewa, inayotolewa kwa wingi na kufanywa kuwa fedha na sarafu yake haiwakilishi dhahabu wala fedha, wala haina dhamana ya dhahabu au fedha, basi Dola inachukuliwa kuwa inafuata mfumo wa sarafu ya karatasi ya lazima.

If the currency it prints, issues and makes as its money and currency is not a substitute for gold or silver, nor backed by gold or silver, the State is considered to be following the compulsory paper currency standard.

Dola ya Kirumi ilipitisha kiwango kisichobadilika cha dhahabu chenye uzito na thamani maalum kuwa msingi wa sarafu yake. Kwa msingi huo ilitengeneza kipande cha sarafu ya dhahabu cha kipimo kimoja, chenye umbo na mtindo maalum, kikiwa kimechorwa maandishi maalum. Ilifanya kipande hiki cha dhahabu kilichotengenezwa kuwa fedha yake na sarafu yake, na kukitoa kwa ajili ya mzunguko, hivyo ikapitisha kanuni ya dhahabu katika kutoa sarafu yake. Kwa njia hiyo ilifuata kiwango cha mabaa ya dhahabu.

The Roman State adopted the fixed unit of gold with defined weight and value as the basis of its currency. It coined on this basis a unit piece of gold currency in a specific form and fashion, engraved with a specific inscription. It made this gold coined piece its money and currency, and submitted it for circulation, thereby adopting the gold principle in issuing its currency. It thus followed the golden ingots standard.

Kuhusu Dola ya Sasanid, ilipitisha kipimo cha fedha kama msingi wa sarafu yake. Ilitengeneza kwa uzito tatu, na kwa msingi wa uzito huu ikatengeneza sarafu za fedha za Dirham zenye umbo na mtindo maalum, zilizochorwa maandishi maalum. Ilizifanya sarafu hizi za fedha kuwa fedha yake na sarafu yake, ikaziwasilisha kwa ajili ya mzunguko, na hivyo ikakubali kanuni ya fedha. Kwa hiyo ilifuata kiwango cha mabaki ya fedha.

As for the Sassanid State, it adopted the silver unit as the basis of its currency. It made it of three weights, coining upon the basis of these weights silver Dirhams of specific form and fashion engraved with specific inscriptions. It made these silver coined pieces its money and currency, submitted them for circulation, thereby adopting the silver principle. It thus followed the silver ingots standard.

Kwa upande wa Waislamu, walichukua kipimo cha dhahabu na kipimo cha fedha kama msingi wa fedha zao na sarafu zao. Walivitumia pamoja, isipokuwa kwamba walichukua Dinari za Kirumi (Byzantine) na Dirham za Kisasani (Chosroes) kama fedha zao, bila kutengeneza sarafu yao maalum tangu wakati wa Mtume ﷺ na Makhalifa baada yake hadi kipindi cha Abdul Malik bin Marwan. Wakati wake, Abdul Malik bin Marwan alitengeneza sarafu maalum ya Kiislamu, akiifanya kwa umbo na mtindo maalum. Aliichora kwa maandishi maalum na akaiweka juu ya kipimo cha dhahabu na fedha kulingana na uzito wa Dinari na Dirham za Sharia. Kwa hiyo Waislamu wakaendelea kwa kiwango cha dhahabu na fedha, yaani kanuni ya metali mbili. Katika siku za mwisho za Abbasid, na kipindi cha Attabika huko Misri, Waislamu walitengeneza, pamoja na dhahabu na fedha, sarafu ya shaba kwa ajili ya kununua vitu vidogo, kwa sababu thamani ya ndani ya shaba ni ndogo. Haikuwakilisha dhahabu na fedha; badala yake ilisimama yenyewe kutegemea thamani yake kama shaba. Kwa kuwa dhahabu na fedha zilipungua katika kipindi cha Attabika, walianza kununua bidhaa zote, za bei ghali au za bei nafuu, kwa sarafu ya shaba.

As for Muslims, they adopted the gold unit and silver unit as the basis for their money and currency. They utilised them together, except that they took Byzantine Dinars and Chosroes Dirhams as their money without coining their own specific money from the time of the Messenger (saw) and the Khulafa’a after him until the period of Abdul Malik bin Marwan. In his time, Abdul Malik bin Marwan minted specific Islamic currency, making it in specific form and fashion. He engraved it with a specific inscription and established it upon the gold and silver unit according to the weights of the Shari’ah Dinar and Dirham. The Muslims thereby proceeded on the gold and silver standard i.e. the bi-metallic principle. In the last days of the Abbassids, and the period of the Attabika in Egypt, Muslims coined, beside the gold and silver, copper currency to buy trivial things because copper’s intrinsic value is low. It was not representative of gold and silver; rather it stood on its own depending upon its value as copper. Since gold and silver became scarce in the Attabika period, they began buying all goods, whether expensive or cheap, with copper currency.

Dunia iliendelea kufuata kanuni ya dhahabu na fedha iliyotegemea kiwango cha mabaa hadi mwanzoni mwa karne ya 20. Kila Dola ilikuwa ikitengeneza sarafu yake ya dhahabu au fedha katika umbo na mtindo wake maalum, yenye thamani au uzito maalum uliowekwa, hadi Dola kuu za kikoloni zilipoachana na kanuni ya dhahabu na fedha kabla tu ya Vita vya Kwanza vya Dunia na kupitisha noti za karatasi za lazima kuwa sarafu yao.

The world continued following the gold and silver principle based on the standard of ingots until the beginning of the 20th century. Each State would coin its own gold or silver currency in its own specific form and fashion, with specific fixed value or weight, until the major colonialist States abandoned the gold and silver principle just before World War I and adopted the compulsory paper money as their currency.

Huu ndio uhalisia wa kutoa sarafu, uhalisia wa kile Waislamu walichofuata katika kupitisha na kutoa sarafu, na uhalisia wa hukmu ya Shari'ah kuhusu utoaji wake.

This is the reality of issuing currency, the reality of what Muslims followed in adopting and issuing currency and the reality of the Shari’ah rule regarding its issuing.

Kwa hiyo, Waislamu lazima wawe na dhahabu na fedha kama sarafu yao, na Dola ya Khilafah lazima itengeneze sarafu yake kwa dhahabu na fedha. Ni lazima ifuate kanuni ya dhahabu na fedha, yaani kiwango cha bi-metallic, kama ilivyokuwa katika siku za Mtume wa Allah ﷺ na Khulafa'a baada yake. Ni lazima ipige sarafu za Dinari za dhahabu na Dirhamu za fedha kutoka kwa dhahabu safi na fedha safi, zenye thamani kubwa. Ni lazima itengeneze Dinari na Dirhamu katika umbo maalum na mtindo wa Kiislamu wa kipekee kwa Dola ya Khilafah, huku uzito wa Dinari ya dhahabu ukiwa ule wa Shari'ah, yaani uzito wa Mithqal. Hivyo basi, ipige Dinari kuwa gramu 4.25 kwa Dinari moja, ambayo ndiyo uzito wa Dinari. Uzito wa Dirhamu ya fedha uwe uzito wa Dirhamu ya Shari'ah, unaojulikana kama uzito wa saba, yaani Dirhamu 10 zina uzito wa Mithqal 7, na hivyo ipige Dirhamu kuwa gramu 2.975 kwa Dirhamu moja.

Therefore, Muslims must have gold and silver as their currency and the Khilafah State must make its currency of gold and silver. It must follow the gold and silver principle i.e. bi-metallic standard, as was the case in the days of the Messenger of Allah (saw) and the Khulafa’a after him. It must coin golden Dinars and silver Dirhams from the pure gold and silver material and with high value. It must make Dinars and Dirhams in a specific form and Islamic fashion unique to the Khilafah State, making the gold Dinar’s weight as that of the Shari’ah i.e. the Mithqal’s weight. Hence it should coin the Dinar as 4.25 grams for one Dinar which is the Dinar’s weight. It should make the silver Dirham’s weight the weight of the Shari’ah Dirham which is known as the weight of seven, i.e. 10 Dirhams weigh 7 Mithqals, and so it coins Dirhams as 2.975 grams for one Dirham.

Inawezekana kwa Dola kutengeneza sarafu za dhahabu za Dinari, sehemu zake na vizidishi vyake katika umbo lifuatalo:

It is possible for the State to coin gold Dinars, its parts and multiples in the following form:

Kwa kutumia umbo hili, inaweza kutengeneza sarafu zenye uzito wa Nisab ya Zakat, uzito wa Dinari ambao ndio msingi wa kupima dhahabu, uzito wa nusu Dinari ambayo ndiyo kiasi cha lazima kinachotolewa kutoka Nisab ya Zakat, na sarafu ya robo Dinari ambayo ndiyo kiasi ambacho mkono wa mwizi hukatwa kwacho.

Using this form, it can coin pieces in the weight of the Nisab of Zakat, the Dinar’s weight which is the basis of weight in gold, the weight of one-half Dinar which is the obligatory amount taken from the Nisab of Zakat, and a quarter-Dinar piece which is the amount for which the thief ’s hand is cut.

Dola inaweza pia kutengeneza sarafu za fedha za Dirhamu, sehemu zake na wingi wake, kwa namna ifuatayo: Sarafu / Uzito kwa gramu 1. Nusu Dirhamu: gramu 1.4875 2. Dirhamu: gramu 2.975 3. Dirhamu 5: gramu 14.675, kiasi cha lazima kinachotolewa kutoka kwenye Nisab ya fedha 4. Dirhamu 10: gramu 29.75 5. Dirhamu 20: gramu 59.5

The State can also coin silver Dirhams, its parts and multiples in the following form: Coins Weight in Grams 1. One-half Dirham 1.4875 g 2. Dirham 2.975 g 3. 5 Dirhams 14.675 g, the obligatory amount taken from the Nisab of silver 4. 10 Dirhams 29.75 g 5. 20 Dirhams 59.5 g

Serikali pia inaweza kutengeneza sarafu ndogo kuliko ile ya fedha ili kusaidia kupata vitu vidogo vidogo. Kwa kuwa kiwango cha fedha kilichomo katika sarafu hizi za fedha ni kidogo, na ni vigumu kuzitumia zikiwa safi kabisa kama sarafu, sehemu maalum za metali nyingine zisizo na thamani zinaweza kuongezwa ndani yake. Hata hivyo, uzito wa fedha unaotumika katika sarafu hizi zilizotengenezwa lazima ubainishwe kwa namna itakayozuia mkanganyiko wowote kuhusu jambo hilo.

The State can also coin units smaller than that of silver to help obtaining trivial things. Since the silver contained in these silver units is little and it is difficult to deal with them as they are pure coins, specific portions of different valueless metals can be added to them. However, the proportion of silver in weight used in these coined units must be clarified in a manner preventing any confusion over it.

Dola ya Khilafah lazima ijitahidi kuirejesha dunia kwenye mfumo wa kufanya biashara kwa dhahabu na fedha, ili kuzuia nchi kama Marekani kutawala sarafu za dunia kiasi kwamba iichezee kulingana na maslahi yake maalum.

The Khilafah State must endeavour to bring the world back to deal with gold and silver to prevent a state like America from dominating world currency such that she plays with it according to her specific interests.

Dola ya Kiislamu katika miaka yake yote ilihifadhi kipimo cha kawaida cha dhahabu na fedha ili zibaki bila uchafu wowote. Ilihakikisha zinahifadhiwa safi kabisa ili ziwe za kiwango cha juu cha kipimo. Ilikuwa ikizuia kuchanganywa kwa dhahabu na fedha kwa vitu visivyo halisi, na ikiweka adhabu kwa wote waliochanganya Dinari na Dirhamu.

The Islamic State throughout its years preserved the standard measure of gold and silver so that they remained free of any impurity. It ensured it was kept completely pure so that they were of high standard measure. It used to prevent adulteration of gold and silver, implementing punishment on all who adulterated Dinars and Dirhams.

Kwa hiyo, dinari za dhahabu na dirhamu za fedha lazima ziwe safi bila kuchanganywa na chuma chochote kingine, na kuzuiwa kughoshiwa kwake. Adhabu lazima impate kila anayezichanganya na chuma kingine chochote, kwa kuwa hii ni udanganyifu, na udanganyifu umekatazwa. Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Hatokuwa katika sisi aliyedanganya," na katika riwaya nyingine: "Aliyetudanganya si katika sisi."

Therefore, gold Dinars and silver Dirhams must be pure without mixing them with any other metal and its adulteration must be prevented. Punishment must befall all who mix it with any other metals as this is fraud and fraud is prohibited. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “He is not one of us who deceives” and in another narration: “He who deceives us is not one of us.”

Dola ya Khilafah lazima iache kiwango cha kubadilishana kati ya dhahabu na fedha bila kizuizi chochote. Dhahabu inapaswa kubadilishwa kwa fedha, na fedha kwa dhahabu, kwa bei ya soko ya sasa kulingana na ugavi na mahitaji, kama ilivyokuwa wakati wa Mtume ﷺ na Makhalifa waliokuja baada yake. Mtume ﷺ hakuweka kiwango maalum cha kubadilishana kati ya dhahabu na fedha, wala hakulazimisha bei maalum ya kubadilishana kati yake. Aliwaachia Waislamu kununua fedha kwa dhahabu na dhahabu kwa fedha kadiri wapendavyo, mkono kwa mkono, bila kuweka kiwango maalum kati yao. Alisema: “Badilisheni dhahabu kwa fedha kadiri mpendavyo, mkono kwa mkono.” Ibn ‘Umar alisema: “Nilikuwa nikiuza ngamia huko Baqi’. Niliuza kwa Dinari nikapokea Dirhamu, na niliuza kwa Dirhamu nikapokea Dinari, nikichukua hiki badala ya kile na kutoa hiki badala ya kile. Nilimwendea Mtume ﷺ alipokuwa nyumbani kwa Hafsa, nikasema: ‘Ee Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ, tafadhali subiri nikuulize. Ninafanya biashara ya ngamia huko Baqi’, nabadilisha kwa Dinari na kupokea Dirhamu, na nabadilisha kwa Dirhamu na kupokea Dinari, nikichukua hiki badala ya kile na kutoa hiki badala ya kile.’ Mtume ﷺ akasema: ‘Hakuna ubaya ukichukua bei ya siku hiyo mradi tu msiachane huku kuna kitu bado kinabaki kati yenu.’”

The Khilafah State must leave the exchange ratio between gold and silver without any restriction. Gold should be exchanged with silver, and silver with gold at the current market price according to supply and demand as was the case at the time of the Messenger of Allah (saw) and the Khulafa’a after him. The Messenger of Allah (saw) did not determine a specific ratio between gold and silver nor obliged a specific exchange price between them. He left Muslims to buy silver with gold and gold with silver as they wished, hand to hand, without imposing a specific ratio between them. He said: “Trade gold with silver as you wish, hand to hand.” Ibn ‘Umar said: “I used to sell camels in Baqi’. I sold with Dinars and took Dirhams and I sold with Dirhams and took Dinars, taking this for that and giving this for that. I came to the Prophet (saw) when he was at Hafsa’s house and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (saw), Will you please wait so that I ask you. I trade camels in Baqi’, I trade with Dinars and take Dirhams and I trade with Dirhams and take Dinars, taking this for that and giving this for that.’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘There is nothing wrong if you take its price of the day as long as you do not depart from each other where something is still left between you.’”.

Hii si kununua dhahabu kwa dhahabu na fedha kwa fedha, biashara ambayo usawa ni wajibu. "Sawa kwa sawa" na "mkono kwa mkono." Alisema: "Dhahabu kwa dhahabu, fedha kwa fedha, ngano kwa ngano, shayiri kwa shayiri, tende kwa tende na chumvi kwa chumvi, sawa kwa sawa na mkono kwa mkono. Yeyote anayeongeza au kuomba nyongeza amechukua riba, ambapo mwenye kuchukua na mwenye kutoa wako sawa (katika dhambi)." Imepokewa na Muslim.

Wakati dhahabu na fedha ndizo zilizokuwa sarafu zinazozunguka duniani, hapakuwa na matatizo yoyote ya sarafu. Matatizo ya sarafu hayakujitokeza isipokuwa baada ya dunia kuachana na mfumo wa dhahabu na fedha, wakati nchi za kikoloni zilipobuni mitindo ya kiuchumi na kifedha ya kikoloni ili kuimarisha utawala wao juu ya dunia. Walitumia sarafu kama njia ya ukoloni, wakaacha kiwango cha dhahabu na fedha. Walibadilisha sarafu kuwa viwango vingine ambavyo walizingatia amana za benki na sarafu ya lazima isiyotegemea dhahabu na fedha kuwa sarafu. Wakaanza kucheza na sarafu ya dunia kulingana na maslahi yao, na hivyo kuunda migogoro ya sarafu na matatizo ya kiuchumi. Waliongeza utoaji wa sarafu ya lazima, jambo lililosababisha mfumuko mkubwa wa bei wa sarafu, na hivyo kupelekea kushuka kwa uwezo wa sarafu kununua bidhaa. Yote haya yanatokana na kuachwa kwa kiwango cha dhahabu na fedha.

When gold and silver were the currency circulating in the world, there were no currency problems at all. Currency problems did not arise except after the world abandoned the gold and silver system when the colonialist states invented colonialist economic and financial styles to consolidate their dominance over the world. They took currency as a means of colonisation and abandoned the gold and silver standard. They changed currency to other standards in which they gave consideration to bank deposits and compulsory currency that does not depend on gold and silver as currencies. They started to play with world currency according to their interests thus creating currency crises and economic problems. They increased the issuing of compulsory currency which created great inflation in currency, thus leading to decline in the purchasing power of currency. All this is due to abandoning the gold and silver standard.

Kiwango cha dhahabu na fedha ndicho kanuni pekee ya kuondoa matatizo haya ya sarafu na mfumuko mkali wa bei ulioenea duniani kote. Kingeleta utulivu wa sarafu na uthabiti katika bei za kubadilishia sarafu, pamoja na maendeleo ya biashara ya kimataifa. Hii ni kwa sababu kiwango cha dhahabu na fedha kina faida nyingi za kiuchumi kama vile:

The gold and silver is the only standard principle of eliminating this currency problems and the severe inflation which has spread throughout the world. It would create currency stability and steadiness in the currency exchange prices and advance of international trade. This is because the gold and silver standard bears numerous economic advantages such as:

1. Uzalishaji wa dunia wa dhahabu na fedha kama bidhaa unategemea gharama za utafutaji na uchimbaji, pamoja na mahitaji yake dhidi ya mahitaji ya bidhaa na huduma nyingine. Hili halifanyi utoaji wa sarafu kwa dunia kuwa chini ya huruma ya mataifa ya kikoloni, kama ilivyo katika mfumo wa sarafu ya karatasi, jambo linalowezesha mataifa kuweka sarafu sokoni wapendavyo kupitia njia ya kuchapisha sarafu zaidi kila walipotaka kuboresha usawa wa sarafu na malipo na mataifa mengine.

Kiwango cha dhahabu ndicho kiwango sahihi kinachozuia serikali kutoa kiasi cha sarafu ya karatasi isiyo na akiba, na hivyo kusababisha mfumuko wa bei. Mfumo wa dhahabu hutoa kipimo kisichobadilika kwa mahusiano ya biashara ya kimataifa, jambo linalohimiza biashara ya kimataifa. Je, hata hivyo, dhahabu iliyopo duniani inatosha kuirudisha dunia kwenye kiwango cha dhahabu kama ilivyokuwa zamani? Je, inatosha kutoa fedha zinazohitajika kwa miamala ya kibiashara? Je, kuna dhahabu ya kutosha katika Dola ya Khilafah kuiwezesha kurejea kwenye kiwango cha dhahabu? Kwa maswali haya, tunasema: Ndiyo. Dhahabu iliyopo duniani inatosha kuirudisha dunia kwenye kiwango cha dhahabu, na ina unyumbufu wa kutosha kuzalisha fedha zinazohitajika kugharamia miamala ya kibiashara na mahitaji ya kiuchumi duniani, kwa sababu zifuatazo:

The gold standard is the correct standard preventing governments from issuing quantities of paper currency which has no reserves, thus leading to inflation. The gold system provides a fixed unit for international trade relations which encourage international trade. Is, however, the gold existing in the world sufficient to bring the world back to following the gold standard as in the past? Is it sufficient to provide the money required for trade dealings? Is there enough gold in the Khilafah State to enable it to return to the gold standard? In response to these questions, we say, Yes. The gold existing in the world is enough to return the world to the gold standard and it has sufficient flexibility to produce the money required to cover trade transactions and economic needs in the world, for the following reasons:

1. Katika historia yote ya mwanadamu, hakuna chuma chochote ambacho kimewahi kupata shauku kama dhahabu. Kila kiasi cha dhahabu ambacho mwanadamu amechimba bado kinatumika hadi leo, ingawa kilichimbwa maelfu ya miaka iliyopita, kwa kuwa dhahabu haiharibiki wala kupotea. Badala yake, kinachotokea ni kubadilishwa kwa namna ya sarafu au vito, au kutumika kutengeneza aina fulani ya bidhaa, au kuyeyushwa upya.

1. Throughout human history, no metal has ever enjoyed an interest similar to gold. All that man has mined of gold is being used until today despite having been mined thousands of years ago, since it does not perish leading to its disappearance. Rather, all that occurs is its exchange in the form of currency or jewellery, or using it into some form of manufacturing or re-melting it.

2. Dhahabu katika zama zote zilizopita, hadi mwisho wa karne ya kumi na tisa, ilitosha kwa shughuli zote za biashara na kukidhi mahitaji yote ya uchumi wa dunia katika enzi zote bila kutokea matatizo ya kiuchumi au kifedha. Katika karne ya kumi na tisa, ambayo ukuaji wa kiuchumi uliongezeka kwa kiwango kikubwa, dunia ilishuhudia ongezeko kubwa la uchumi na upungufu mkubwa wa bei na ongezeko la mishahara, bila upungufu wowote wa kiasi cha sarafu ya dhahabu iliyowekwa kwa matumizi, licha ya kuongezeka kwa bidhaa na huduma.

Kurudi kwenye kiwango cha dhahabu kunahitaji kuondolewa kwa sababu zilizopelekea kuachwa kwake na kuondolewa kwa mambo yaliyopelekea kudhoofika kwake. Hili linahitaji yafuatayo:

The return to the gold standard requires the removal of the reasons that lead to abandoning it and the removal of the factors that lead to its decline. This requires the following:

1. Kusimamisha uchapishaji wa sarafu ya karatasi.

1. Stopping the printing of paper currency.

2. Kurejesha miamala ya sarafu ya dhahabu.

2. Restoring the dealings with gold currency.

3. Kuondoa ushuru wa forodha mbele ya dhahabu na vizuizi vyote dhidi ya uagizaji wake na usafirishaji wake nje ya nchi.

3. Removing custom duties in front of gold and all restrictions against its import and export.

4. Kuondoa vizuizi dhidi ya kumiliki, kushika, kununua na kuuza dhahabu, na kuitumia katika mikataba.

4. Removing restrictions against owning, possessing, buying and selling of gold, and dealing with it in contracts.

5. Kuondoa vikwazo vya umiliki wa sarafu kuu za dunia na kuruhusu ushindani huru baina yake, ili zipate bei maalum kulingana na kila moja na kulingana na dhahabu, bila uingiliaji wa Dola kwa kupunguza thamani ya sarafu au kuziacha zielee.

5. Removing restrictions against the possession of the major world currencies and making competition free between them such that they take a fixed price in relation to each other and in relation to gold, without State intervention by reducing or floating their currencies.

Wakati wowote dhahabu inapoachwa huru, itakuwa na soko huria ndani ya muda mfupi, na kwa msingi huo sarafu zote za kimataifa zitapata bei thabiti ya kubadilishana kulingana na dhahabu. Miamala ya kimataifa ya dhahabu itakua pale ambapo malipo ya bei za mikataba ya bidhaa, yanayokadiriwa kwa dhahabu, yanafanyika.

Whenever gold is left free, it will have an open market in a short period, and accordingly all international currencies will take a steady exchange price in relation to gold. The international dealings with gold will develop where the payment of the prices of goods contracts estimated by gold, takes place.

Iwapo hatua hizi zitatekelezwa na Dola moja imara, basi mafanikio yake yatazihamasisha nchi nyingine kuifuata, jambo ambalo litapelekea kusonga mbele kuelekea kuurejesha ulimwengu kwenye kiwango cha dhahabu tena.
