For some reason, Ghaddafi had decided to set the date from the passing away (and not from the hijra; migration) of prophet Mohammed (PBUH).</p><p><br /></p><p>Literal translation of wafat وفاة is death. this is what is written on the coin.</p><p>In Islam, &quot;some scholars&quot; (my guessing more would be in Sufism) would avoid using the word death to ascribe it to the prophet&#039;s. It is mostly a matter of decency. There is no solid evidence that using the word &quot;death&quot; as an attribute to the prophet&#039;s, is haram. There are also another way of describing the passing away of the prophet, &quot; has ascended to the Higher Companion&quot;.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]649080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]649081[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
