Then, it is urgent to review another effective alternative for the goals achievement, and zakat is one of the Islamic fiscal instrument which has been proved on its effectiveness in supporting the state's economy. Many researches stand to prove the zakat effectiveness in various macroeconomic side, but it rarely found a research stands in compiling those proves on zakat's role in multigoals of macroeconomic in a paper.
