What is the story of Zamzam water that is not like water on Earth?

ArabiaWeather.com - Zamzam water well is one of the most important elements within the Sacred Mosque, and it is the most famous well on earth because of its great spiritual meanings for Muslims in general and for visitors to the Sacred House in particular.

The story of the Well of Zamzam dates back to the time of our master Ibrahim, peace be upon him, when he went with his wife Hajar and their son Ismail to a site near Mecca that was not standing at the time and left them there. Make hearts of people fall to them and provide them with fruits so that they may be grateful)) Verse 37 Surah Ibrahim.

The water and the excess had emptied from Hajar and her son, so God answered his prayers and provided them with a water well that took Hajar surrounded by her hands as she said (Zam Zam) for fear of losing water in the sand, so she was called Zam Zam Well.

Watering Zamzam water

The well ceased once in the pre-Islamic era, and no one discovered it before Islam. The dream of the Prophet’s grandfather, peace and blessings be upon him, Abdul Muttalib at that time, dreamed of someone who guides him to the location of the well and asks him to open the well. Water it.

When he passed away, his son Abu Talib took over the watering, then his brother Bani Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib and his son took over until their caliphate ended and they were entrusted to the Al-Zubair family to carry out watering works on behalf of the viceroys, then the Zubayrians asked the Abbasid caliphs to leave the watering for them. They left it to them according to a leaflet. However, due to the large number of pilgrims, others participated in the work with them in the name of Zamazma. Moreover, the Ottoman Turks installed the Al-Zubayr family in the work of watering and its presidency remains in their hands to this day. And the family of Al-Zubayr is known today (Bait Al-Rais).

The merit of Zamzam water

The virtues of Zamzam water and its benefits came in several authentic hadiths, where the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said (the best water on earth is the water of Zamzam, a taste of taste and a recovery from sickness). It is also not affected by its exposure to the atmosphere differently from that which happens to all other types of water such as rivers, seas, rain and groundwater, due to its chemical components that prevent the activity of germs, bacteria and fungi.

Zamzam water is a blessing that God has given us, and it is considered one of the most valuable gifts of Hajj and Umrah.
