    The most blessed holy water on earth is zamzam. It itself is the sign of purity. Whoever wishes to recover from any sickness he should drink it with the intention of getting shefah from it. May Allah grant his dua. Say bismillah before drinking zamzam and drink while standing after drinking say Alhamdulillah and make dua.

    Two small hills now located in Masjidil Al-Haram. Muslims travel back & forth between them seven times, during the ritual of Hajj/Umrah called Sa’i, remembering the history of Ismail & his Mom Hajar. And you can get zamzam holy water here.

    Why do Muslims drink from the Zamzam well? “The significance of Zamzam water is on one hand the reiteration of the Quranic message that with difficulty comes ease,” Philips said. “It is a commemoration of God's miracle coming to the aid of Hajar at a time when none could help her but him [God].”

    MashaAllah Miracle on earth The Zamzam Well (Arabic: بئر زمزم, romanized: Biʾru Zamzam Arabic pronunciation: [biʔru zam.zam]) is a well located within the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is located 20 m (66 ft) east of the Kaaba,[2] the holiest place in Islam. According to Islamic narratives, the well is a miraculously generated source of water, which opened up thousands of years ago when the son of Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismaʿil (Ishmael), was left with his mother Hajar (Hagar) in the desert. It is claimed to have dried up during the settlement of the Jurhum in the area and to have been rediscovered in the 6th century by Abd al-Muttalib, grandfather of Muhammad. Millions of pilgrims visit Mecca and Medina each year to perform the hajj or umrah and drink water from the zamzam well.

    👉The holy Zamzam Well 🚰 is located near the Kaaba 🕋in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. 👉The Zamzam is a well that is believed to have been created by God (Allah) to provide water for the Prophet Isma'il (peace be upon him) and his mother Hagar (peace be upon her) in the desert. 👉It is one of the most sacred sites in Islam, and its water is considered to be holy and healing. 👉Drinking the holy water of Zamzam is a deeply spiritual and meaningful experience for many Muslims. 👉The well is surrounded by a large courtyard where access to normal public is prohibited. 👉Worshippers can drink the Zamzam water from the filled containers in the grand mosque of Makkah and can take home from the government registered Zamzam water oulets. 👉Many Muslims will make du'a 🤲 (supplications) and seek blessings and guidance from God while drinking this holy water. 👉Pilgrims will often pause at the Zamzam water containers to drink its water, which is believed to have special blessings and to have healing properties. Many will also take some of the water home with them as a souvenir. 👉The significance of the Zamzam well is that it is one of the most ancient source of water, that Muslims believes that it had been provided by God as a sustenance for Prophet Isma'il and his mother when they were in the desert. It is also a symbol of the provision and sustenance from God. 🤲The holy water of Zamzam is a powerful reminder of God's provision and sustenance and the history of Islam.

    The Zamzam Well, located within the Masjid al-Haram complex in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims as a symbol of divine providence and historical significance. According to Islamic tradition, the well miraculously emerged to provide water for Hagar and her son Isma'il in the arid desert, a testament to divine mercy. Pilgrims visiting the Masjid al-Haram often seek out the Zamzam Well to drink from its sacred water, believed to possess unique blessings. The well's water is not only a source of physical nourishment but also a spiritual connection to the rich history of the region. Zamzam water is distributed throughout the Masjid al-Haram, and its accessibility symbolizes the unity and communal spirit of Islam. Pilgrims carry Zamzam water home as a sacred relic, believing in its healing and spiritual properties. The preservation and reverence for the Zamzam Well extend beyond its religious significance, with ongoing efforts to maintain the well's historical and cultural importance. Its presence serves as a reminder of the divine providence that sustains life and the enduring legacy of faith embedded in the fabric of Islamic tradition. The Zamzam Well is not just a source of water; it is a timeless symbol of resilience, faith, and the boundless mercy of Allah.

    al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, lit. 'The Sacred Mosque'), also known as the Grand Mosque or the Great Mosque of Mecca,[5] is a mosque enclosing the vicinity of the Kaaba in Mecca, in the Mecca Province of Saudi Arabia. It is a site of pilgrimage in the Hajj, which every Muslim must do at least once in their lives if able, and is also the main phase for the ʿUmrah, the lesser pilgrimage that can be undertaken any time of the year. The rites of both pilgrimages include circumambulating the Kaaba within the mosque. The Great Mosque includes other important significant sites, including the Black Stone, the Zamzam Well, Maqam Ibrahim, and the hills of Safa and Marwa

    The Zamzam Well (Arabic: بئر زمزم, romanized: Biʾru Zamzam Arabic pronunciation: [biʔru zam.zam]) is a well located within the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is located 20 m (66 ft) east of the Kaʿba, the holiest place in Islam. The well miraculously generated source of water, which opened up thousands of years ago when the son of Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismaʿil (Ishmael), was left with his mother Hajar (Hagar) in the desert. It is claimed to have dried up during the settlement of the Jurhum in the area and to have been rediscovered in the 6th century by ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, grandfather of Muhammad. Millions of pilgrims visit Mecca and Medina each year while performing the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimages in order to drink its water. The well of Zamzam was excavated by hand, and is about 30 m (100 ft) deep and 1.08 to 2.66 m (3 ft 7 in to 8 ft 9 in) in diameter. It taps groundwater from the wadi alluvium and some from the bedrock. Historically water from the well was drawn via ropes and buckets, but since 1964 the well's opening itself is in a basement room inaccessible to the public, where it can be seen behind glass panels. Two electric pumps, operating alternately, move the water 5 km southwards at a pace of between 11 and 18.5 litres per second to the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Zamzam Water Project in Kudai. The center opened in September 2010 CE costing 700 million Saudi Riyal to construct and being operated by the National Water Company of Saudi Arabia. In this location treatment using filters and ultraviolet light, storage, and distribution take place. Once treated the water is stored in one of two reservoirs, the first at the plant's location in Kudai can hold 10,000 cubic meters of water, the other, the King Abdulaziz Sabeel Reservoir in Medina, has a larger capacity of 16,000 cubic meters. The Kudai location is connected via pipes to drinking fountains in the Masjid al-Haram. The Medina location supplies the Prophet's Mosque. Aside from the system of pipes unbottled water is distributed using tanker trucks which transport 150,000 litres per day at normal times and up to 400,000 litres per day during pilgrimage seasons to the Medina location. Unbottled water is available through the before-mentioned drinking fountains, a fountain meant for pilgrims wishing to fill larger containers not intended for immediate consumption, and sterilised containers placed by authorities throughout the holy sites in Mecca and Medina. These latter containers come in several variants, chilled and unchilled, as well as being either stationary or worn as a backpack by employees of the complexes with disposable plastic cups provided in any case. Small filtered water bottles are also distributed free of charge at the holy sites. The water distributed this way in the Masjid al-Haram totals ca. 700,000 litres per day outside of pilgrimage season and 2,000,000 litres per day during said season. Distribution outside the Islamic holy sites within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia occurs with the water being bottled in 10-litre-containers which are sold directly at a warehouse at the site of the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Zamzam Water Project or via hypermarkets and super stores throughout the state. In 2018 the number of 10-litre-containers distributed per day was 1.5 million. In 2010 the annual limit on how much water can be extracted from the well was stated as c. 500,000 cubic meters (500,000,000 litres per year), though due to annual variations in rainfall patterns there exists a lot of deviation with regards to how much water can be extracted without lowering the well's water level too drastically each year. Zamzam water is colourless and odorless, but has a distinctive taste, with a pH of 7.9–8, and so is slightly alkaline.
