Gold replied on Thursday, May 13, 2010 02:22 PM
Dear Mr. Imran 1. You are right I am a regular visitor of this site and have suggested a number of times (started when Gold was at USD 700/=) and now the gold is at USD 1250/= 2. Who so ever listned to my suggestions got a good profit 3. Unlike currency Gold is the real assest. Now the countries have started investing in Gold and the price is rising. All are shedding their Dollar reserves and are buying gold 4. Our religion also encourages to use Gold as assests as our Zakat is payable on Gold as reference. Currency is a form of interest or Riba(details later) 5. There is no link between USD and Gold. US is keeping its Dollar high by quoting wrong figures. The US economy is down and anytime Dollar can give up 6. Death of Benazir Bhutto, unemployment data, bankruptcy of US banks and Time square event and other events make the Gold reach to their highest. Similarly other events will boost the Gold in the future. So please as advice please do not keep your savings as currency, but keep them in solid Gold or Silver and pay your zakat on the current value Allah Hafiz |
