Spokesperson of Muslim Association of Malawi Dinala Chabulika Said the celebration is important in the Muslim Calander as all Muslims come and pray together and share meat to fellow Muslims as a way of honouring the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael.

Chabulika has further encourage Muslims to take their own praying material during the celebration and to follow all the prevent measures.
