Acehnese periodically run the meugang tradition during the reign of Sultan Iskandar Muda (1607-1636), 16th to 17th century AD, until now.
The inhabitants of Bumi Serambi Mekkah carry out a tradition that includes the slaughter of animals as a mass as a form of expression of gratitude for the blessings and mercy of Allah SWT on the big day of Islam
When meugang before the month of Ramadan, Idul Fitri and Idul Adha, usually they use cows, goats, and buffalo together. "The tradition of meugang in Aceh has been a period of leadership of Sultan Iskandar Muda, it is part of the syiar," said Chairman of the Aceh Traditional Council (MAA) Badruzzaman Ismail during a visit to Sabang
At that time, according to Badruzzaman, Sultan Iskandar Muda ordered every leader in the level of the settlement of all the poor and sharing the meat with the marinade to the less fortunate.
