Muslim faithful in Majengo, Pumwani, on Friday gathered for prayers at the San Siro grounds to mark Eid al-Adha.
Sheikh Abu Najma led the prayers.
Eid al-Adha is the second of the two main festivals in Islam, alongside Eid al-Fitr. It falls on the 10th of Eid al-Adha, the twelfth and final month of the Islamic calendar.
The celebration honours the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God's command. Before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, however, Allah provided a lamb to sacrifice instead.
