The Well of Zamzam is a well located within the Masjid al Haram in Meccah, 20 meters east of the Kaaba,[1] the holiest place in Islam. According to Islamic tradition it was a miraculously- generated source of water from angel Jibril (Gabriel), which began thousands of years ago when Ibraham’s infant son was thirsty. Millions of pilgrims visit the well each year while performing the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimages, in order to drink its water. By Saudi law, the water cannot be sold outside of the kingdom, but because of strong demand there is a thriving market in fake Zamzam water in other countries.
Zam Zam is 18X14 ft & 18 meter deep water well. It started 4000 yrs ago. Never dried since then. Never changed the taste, No Algea or plant growth in the well, Thus no disease caused. It was tested by European Laboratories & declared fit for drinking. This small well provides water to millions of people through heavy motors pulling 8000 lit:per second and after 24 hours in only 11 mins completes its level. Thus its water level never decreases
This well has never dried up. On the contrary it has always fulfilled the demand for water.It has always maintained the same salt composition and taste ever since it came into existence.Its potability has always been universally recognised as pilgrims from all over the world visit Ka’aba every year for Hajj and umrah, but has never complained about it. Instead, they have always enjoyed the water that refreshes them. Water tastes different at different places. Zum-zum water’s appeal has always been universal. This water has never been chemically treated or chlorinated as is the case with water pumped into the cities.
Biological growth and vegetation usually takes place in most wells. This makes the water unpalatable owing to the growth of algae causing taste and odor problems. But in the case of the Zum-zum water well, there wasn’t any sign of biological growth. Centuries ago, Hajra searched desperately for water in the hills of Safa and Marwa to give to her newly born son Ismail. As she ran from one place to another in search of water, her child rubbed his feet against the sand. A pool of water surfaced, and by the grace of Allah, shaped itself into a well which came to be called Zum-zum water.
