Since most of the Islamic books and other audio- visual news files about topics that are of common interest of Muslims are produced or published mostly in either Arabic or English language, the majority Malawian Muslims cannot read and understand them. For Muslims in Malawi to derive the maximum benefit from Islamic books and video documentaries, there is a need to get some of these books and films translated into local languages (Chiyao and Chichewa). As such, ABM Productions has translated the following movies to Chichewa:
