Treatment of used ablution water from IIUM Masjid for reuse

Muslims have to conduct ablution before most of the religious rituals. This study was conducted at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Masjid at Gombak Campus, which can accommodate about 9000 people during the special prayer times such as Jumma and Eid.
