Zakat is one of the instruments for state revenue that can contribute to the economic<br />

development of the Northern Coastal. The study aims to investigate the zakat<br />

contributions to economic development expenditure in the Northern Coastal States.<br />

The study was conducted based on descriptive analysis on zakat data and economic<br />

development from 2007 to 2016. Study findings show that 22% of zakat contribute to<br />

economic development expenditure of Northern Coastal States. The important<br />

implication of this study is that zakat is now very important and from time to time the<br />

innovation in the zakat system needs to be made to catalyse economic development<br />
