Zakat; one of Islam's Five Pillars; is the practice of giving a fixed proportion of one's financial assets to those in need; thereby purifying both one's soul and one's remaining wealth. In Indonesia; since the coming of Islam; zakat has been a means of worship; and its collection has been voluntary and decentralized.Arskal Salim's study argues that in the post-New Order regime (1966-1998) zakat practice changed structurally and institutionally through the enactment of a law on zakat management; followed by the establishment of a national zakat agency. A cultural shift is now in progress with two possible outcomes: either zakat collection will become compulsory and centralized or it will become such an intricate part of taxation law that it loses its spiritual relevance.
