Abstract
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a plan to be achieved in 2030. Its main focus is on developing the country sustainably, eradicating poverty, hunger, and education, which are problems for developing countries. A total of 17 goals are set where all parties, bodies, organizations need to move towards the SDGs. Thus, this study looks at the influence of zakat and taxes as two important instruments towards achieving the SDGs. This study uses a qualitative method in which relevant materials and information are obtained through documentation and history. The study found that zakat and taxes have a positive influence in achieving the SDGs. Therefore, the results of this study can help policymakers set requirements in the calculation of SDGs data and be a guide for researchers to explore other mediums to realize the goals of the plan. The study can also be expanded to other Islamic financial instruments such as sadaqah, waqf, hibah, etc.
