Until today, the halal issues caused by the ingredients of EM still are not clearly mentioned by the manufacturer and becomes a concerns to most of the Islamic country like Malaysia. As the solution, halal based source are suggested in utilization of Effective Microorganism (EM). The result of the experiment shows that EM mud ball has the potential to solve the problem regarding treating the wastewater as it positively reducing the level of turbidity.Keywords:Effective microorganism (EM), Halal based sourced, turbidity, waste treatment
