The result shows both potency and realization of zakatcollection in Indonesia were increasing during 2011-2015. However, the amount of zakatpotency surpasses the amount of zakat realization with wide gap. It shows that the averageamount of zakat collection on 2011-2015 is less than 1% compare to its potency.
