It’s no ordinary water. Have faith, it can cure your ailments. Writes Dr Faiz Fazili.
The drink which refreshes you instantly even in hot climates is Zam Zam. The only place on earth this mysterious drink comes from is the Zam Zam well in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, barely few meters east of the Ka'bah, the heart of the Hajj pilgrimage. The Prophet (pbuh) said: "The best water upon the earth's face is Zam Zam; it is a nourishing food and a cure for illness."(At-Tabarani). According to Arab historians, the well has been in use for about 4000 years. The well makes the site of a spring that miraculously has emerged from a barren and desolate non-perennial stream where the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), under God's command, had left his wife Hagar and infant son Ishmael (pbuh) in the desperate search for water. Have you ever imagined how such a small well, with a diameter of about 1.46 meter to 2.66 meter, and the depth of about 30 meters quenched the thirst of billions of people from all over the world throughout centuries? However to Muslims, it is no surprise as it is stated in the Qu’ran that the well will continue to provide water to millions of people until the Day of The Judgment nears.
