Mosques play a vital role in the Islamic community. Philosophically, they have been developed not only as places of worship, but also to function as a centre for various aspects of Islamic community development. However, these days, with the increasing number of mosques being built, it has become a big challenge for the mosque authorities to maintain the role of the institution as the centre of the Islamic community. This paper explores previously unstudied issues related to the critical success factors (CSFs) of the facilities management (FM) of mosques. The final aim of the review is to develop a conceptual framework incorporating a systematic FM approach to the sustainable performance of mosques. It makes a comprehensive literature review of numerous published sources, such as journals, books, websites, magazines and unpublished theses, focusing on understanding of the concept of the FM of mosques, the concept of the CSF approach, the growing importance of FM, and its significant role in supporting the current functions of mosques. The proposed conceptual framework developed from the literature review will provide guidelines and understanding of how FM should be conceived, managed and integrated with other key management activities within the context of mosques in Malaysia. It will also provide understanding of the best practical approach to the FM of mosques. The paper contends that this approach is certain to contribute to an environment and society as prosperous as it was during the golden age of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) if the concepts outlined in the proposed frame work are adopted and adapted.

In order to minimize the negative effects of autism, early identification and diagnosis are the solutions to get students on the right road to dealing with the problems related to autism and overcoming them. The objective of this research is to develop serious games as a tool for special education teachers to diagnose visual perception problems in autistic students. The development of the visual perception diagnosis games is using the Chalfant diagnosis theory. These diagnostic tools show that it assist and help teachers to diagnose their autism students without the teachers needing to have some experience and knowledge of diagnosing visual perception. This prototype will be a high-tech solution to diagnosing visual perception problems designed for autistic children.

Data quality is a main issue in quality information management. Data quality problems occur anywhere in information systems. These problems are solved by Data Cleaning (DC). DC is a process used to determine inaccurate, incomplete or unreasonable data and then improve the quality through correcting of detected errors and omissions. Various process of DC have been discussed in the previous studies, but there is no standard or formalized the DC process. The Domain Driven Data Mining (DDDM) is one of the KDD methodology often used for this purpose. This paper review and emphasize the important of DC in data preparation. The future works was also being highlight.
