(2) variables of zakat, investment, exchange rate, BI rate and government spending simultaneously have no effect on inflation in Indonesia for the 2009-2019 period. (3) The concept of inflation in the Islamic view refers to Al-Maqrizi's inflation theory which states that inflation can occur by natural conditions as well as human error and a system that is not transparent and accountable. This increase in inflation can be minimized by the concept of zakat through demand pull inflation, while investment plays a role in suppressing inflation through cost push inflation. On the other hand, macroeconomic variables such as exchange rates, BI Rate and Government Expenditures play a role in controlling inflation by applying the Islamic concept, namely the prohibition of usury, maysir and prioritizing the principle of justice.
