A.W, brothers and sisters, I have a query:
We hear many stories of how much the Sahaba spent in the Path of Allah. For example Aisha (R.A) gave 100, 000 dinars on one occasion in charity. How much would thatbe in todays terms? In pounds or dollars? I have done some calculations but I would like to compare with someone else's calculation to see if I've got it right.

Your opinions would be very appreciated.

Jazakummulaah.

bro

I had made a thread on Islamic Currency during the time of Rasoolullah

. But I couldn't calculate the 'inflation' so the the values we get will be many times lesser than the real value. Here is the thread: http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/show...llah-%28saw%29

My Calculation on the values without adding the inflation will be:

1 Dinar= $300
British Pound: 190
Indian Rupee: 14,600
Pakistan Rupee: 26,000
Euro: 216
Saudi Riyal: 1,125
South African Rand: 2,350

So 100,000 Dinar will be around $30,000,000 . !
