The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for
ZAM-ZAM Water
is a refreshing, sweet, pleasant tasting, easy digestible, boundlessly
blessed, virtuous and honourable water. It enjoys such blessings and
virtues, which no other water can be compared to
The water of Zam- Zam has a cure for all ailments. It was a water which had Shifaa (cure)
the name ‘Zam-Zam’ was
given owing to the excessiveness and large quantity of the water,
because the words: ‘Zam-Zam’,’Zam-Zoom’ and ‘Zamaa-Zim’ are said at the
time of excessive water
history of zam zam water
when the Prophet Ebrahim (alaihi salaam) was ordered by Allaah to leave his chaste wife, Haajira (alaiha salaam) and his baby, Ismaeel (alaihi
salaam) in the desert of Arabia, with no friend or helper, then the
answer to the sustenance of life for this ‘forlom’ mother and son was
given within a few days. The innocent child was striking his heels upon
the ground due to severe thirst. The mother was also becoming restless
due to the lack of water, and she ran up one mountain, and down again
and ascended the other mountain, in search of water, boping to find
something to sustain the life of her child
The angel Jibraeel (alaihi
salaam) made an appearance. With a strike of his heels, or an
indication of his hands, or his wings, a spring started flowing
As soon as the
water was sighted, Haajira was overtaken with joy. Her sadness and
despondency was immediately removed and replaced by sheer joy. She
quenched her own thirst and that of her child. She filled a container
with the water and built a sand wall around the spring in order to dam it up
The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that,
had Haajira (alaiha salaam) not done this, this water would have become
like a sea rather than a spring, and it would have saturated the entire
earth
about this water he said
“The best
water on the face of the earth is the water of Zamzam; it is a kind of
food and a healing from sickness.” (Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3302)
He also said
“The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for.” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah)
In an other saying, The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said
” The most sublime of all earthly waters is that of zamzam;
therein one finds food for the hungry and medicine for the ill.”[ At- Tabarani ]
In an other one he said
“Zamzam water is what one intends to drink it for.
When one drinks it to be healed, Allah heals him;
when one drinks it to be full, Allah makes him full;
and when one drinks it to quench his thirst, Allah quenches it. ” [ Ahmad, and Ibn Majah]
the water of
Zam-Zam has countless of virtues and it is extremely pure and clean. It
is the most blessed and purest of all waters on earth.Its position is
upon the most blessed place on earth, near the Kaaba Shareef and within
the Haram.

The scholars
and the righteous drank from it with the intention of fulfilling their
needs and seeking cure for the sick or relief from poverty and surely Allah eased for them achieving their needs.
It is reported from Jaabir (radhiayallahu anhu) that Rasullullah The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:
“That person who has completed seven Tawaafs of the Kaaba Shareef, then
he performs 2 Rakaats Salaat behind the Maqaam-e-Ebrahim, and he has a
drink of the water of Zam-Zam, all his sins will be forgiven.” (Tafseer
Waahidi]
The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:
“The stomach of a believer is satiated with the water of Zam-Zam, and
the stomach of a Munaafiq is not satiated.” It is as though this is a
sign of hypocrisy
