The Secrets of the Water of Zam Zam
~~~~
Zamzam is the name of a famous well in al-Masjid al-Haraam [the Sacred Mosque in Makkah], which is thirty-eight cubits away from the Ka’bah. It is the well of Ismaa’eel the son of Ibraaheem from which Allaah quenched the thirst of Ismaa’eel when he was an infant. His mother looked for water for him, but could not find any. She climbed to the top of al-Safaa, praying to Allaah to help her and give her water for Ismaa’eel, then she climbed to the top of al-Marwah and did the same. Allaah sent Jibreel, and he struck the earth with his heels, and water appeared.
Zam zam has many virtues in Islam, and they are true. Our beloved prophet talks about zam zam in several hadith. Some of the secrets of Zam Zam includes:
#
The scholars agreed that it is mustahabb (recommended) for pilgrims on Hajj and ‘Umrah in particular, and for all Muslims in general, to drink Zamzam water, because of the saheeh hadeeth in which the Prophet PBUH is reported to have drunk the water of Zamzam.
#
According to the hadeeth of Abu Dharr the Prophet said concerning the water of Zamzam, “It is a blessing, and it is food that satisfies.” (Reported by Muslim, 4/1922)
#
In another version that he narrated: “and a cure for the sick.” I.e., drinking the water of Zamzam means that a person does not need to eat, and it will cure his sickness – but this is when he drinks it with faith and sincerity, as proven in the hadeeth of Abu Dharr al-Ghifaari who stayed in Makkah for a month without any nourishment except Zamzam water.
#
Al-‘Abbaas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib said: “The people used to compete over Zamzam during the time of Jaahiliyyah. People who had children used to bring them and give them to drink, and this was their early-morning victuals. We used to used to think that it was a help for people who had children.” Al-‘Abbaas said: “During the Jaahiliyyah, Zamzam was known as Shabaa’ah (satisfaction).”
#
Ibn Abbas reported: The Messsenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best water on the face of the earth is Zamzam.
#
Rasoulillah says if Zam zam is taken with the intention to quench one's thirst in the day of judgement that person will not feel thirsty in the way when water will not be given to anyone.
#
Also, scholars believe that if drank with intention to boosts one's memory retention, eyes sight, intelligence, body health, insha Allah it will make it happen.
#
Someone is having internal diseases, someone cannot bear a child, someone's body is full of weaknesses, drink zam zam with that insha Allah, insha Allah it will cure you.
#
Lastly, Zam zam can help ease delivery during labor, this has been tested many times and it worked.
Note that:
The most important is you have to have a full believe in its miracle, if you doubt it, it will not work for you. People have used it to cure cancer, ulcer, and so on.
