This fact shows that zakat institutions have to enhance its performance continuously to raise its potential funds. Although zakat is becoming a trending research topic currently, studies conducted to assess the performance of zakat institutions based on Zakat National Index (NZI) as a new tool developed by National Zakat Board of Indonesia (BAZNAS) for assessing zakat management performance are still scarce, particularly in South Borneo.
