d-n-r

Description

The Arabic root د-ن-ر (d-n-r) refers to the dinar, a gold or silver coin that was used as currency in pre-Islamic and early Islamic times. In the Quran, it appears in Surah Al-Imran (3:75) in the context of discussing trust and financial obligations, where it contrasts those who would return a large sum (qintar) with those who would not return even a single dinar unless constantly pressed. The root's significance lies in illustrating moral character regarding financial honesty and trustworthiness, showing that true integrity is tested even in small monetary matters.
