A special wells as deep as 42 meters in the Haram area, southeast of the Kaaba. Based on history, the springs were discovered by Siti Hajar, wife of Prophet Ibrahim, after running back and forth in search of water between Safa and Marwah hills.

Infant son, Prophet Ismail was thirsty stomping his feet on the ground, and then a miracle occurs, there comes from springs.

Miraculously, despite thousands of years later, in Arab lands were covered with desert sand and sparse rainfall, the well of Zamzam water never dry.

Zamzam, as its meaning in Arabic, "abundant" do not know subside despite continued pumped to meet the needs of 20 million Muslims who visited the Holy Land, the House each year. Liters of water was also brought home the pilgrims as a souvenir.


The water is considered holy by Muslims believed to have efficacy. One of them, the people who claim to feel a burst of energy exhausted when drinking Zamzam. And the scientists discover the secrets that explain scientifically.

As the site loaded the Saudi Gazette, through chemical and physical research in the water of Zamzam, Dr Hamdi Saif from Alexandria University even concluded, Zamzam is the best water on Earth's surface.

Zamzam has a perfect balance of electrolytes, is also an essential mineral that is very important for better health. He is also very natural and pure, free from any pathogenic microorganisms.

"The water of Zamzam is helpful in the treatment of treatment of kidney disease and heart disease, eye problems, migraine, and a host of other chronic conditions," said Dr Saif.

Zamzam water has long been analyzed in many laboratories in Arabic also Europe. Compared to bottled water from springs in a number of countries. The results of the analysis, "unlike other water, Zamzam containing calcium, magnesium, and fluoride. This is a unique and special content that makes Zamzam has a property to refresh the weary pilgrims."

And incredibly, did not know Zamzam expired, although they had to be careful with contamination of the container or storage location. "Zamzam 100 percent natural, no chlorine in it, nor was chemically treated in any way."

Likewise, Research Center for Geotechnology LIPI researcher, Robert M. Delinom said Zamzam water has a higher mineral content than groundwater in general. One of them, influenced the geological environment and the weather.

Robert describes the conditions surrounding Mecca is not much rain, hot weather resulted in the evaporation of concentrated minerals in the water. So it is more nutritious. "More healthy body weight, more energy, provide nutrients to the body."

False news about Zamzam

An article on Islamic Research Foundation International, Inc. written by Tariq Hussain, a hydrologist who had investigated the Zamzam well, following claims of an Egyptian doctor who said Zamzam is not suitable for drinking in 1971.

Assuming the Kaaba is under sea level, and located in the city of Mecca, water collects and drains into the well of Zamzam. The news reached the ears of King Faisal incredible anger.

The king ordered the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources to send samples of Zamzam to so many European laboratories. Scientists deployed, one of Tariq Hussain to water sources.

"It's hard for me to believe, well that looks like a small pond measuring 5.5 x 4.3 meters, able to provide drinking water for millions of pilgrims since its existence in the time of Prophet Ibrahim, thousands of years ago," he said.

When the assistant entered in the well, well depth is only slightly above the shoulders. Shelving there any pipeline that is connected to it, also no water movement fluctuates greatly, which may be due to the channel from the gas-powered.

The water then known out from between fine sand in the well. "Before I left the Ka'aba, I asked the authorities about the other wells around Makkah. I was told that the wells were mostly dry." There is abundant as Zamzam.

And, the results of laboratory analysis of the European states, drinking Zamzam water, and even contains efficacious. "Therefore, the statement made by the Egyptian doctor proved to be false." (Adi)

However, the false statements on the other hand was a blessing, further strengthens that Zamzam water is special.
