without cultivation, by Thy SacredHouse; in order, O our Lord, that
they may establish regular Prayer: so fill the hearts of some among
men with love towards them, and feed them with fruits: so that they
may give thanks.( Quran [Surah Ibrahim'14:37] )
The Meaning of the Verse:

PROPHET MUHAMMAD P.B.U.H HADITH OF ZAM ZAM WATER
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) 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).
The Messenger of Allah, salallahu alayhe wa sallam has said:" The most
sublime of all earthly waters is that of zamzam; therein one finds
food for the hungry and medicne for the ill." [ At- Tabarani ]
It was reported in SaheehMuslim that the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said to Abu Dharr, who had stayed near the
Ka'bah and its coverings for fortydays and nights with no food or
drink other than (Zamzam): "How long have you been here?" Abu Dharr
said: "I have been here for thirty days and nights." The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,"Who has been feeding
you?" He said, "I have had nothing but Zamzamwater, and I have gotten
so fat that I have folds of fat on my stomach. I do not feel any of
the tiredness or weakness of hunger and I have not become thin." The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Verily,
itis blessed, it is food that nourishes." (Narrated by Imaam Muslim,
2473).

THE BEST WATER
Zamzam water is the bestin the Universe. And Al-Kawthar Water is the
best in the Next Life.
Some scholars stated thatthe best water ever was the one that came
through the fingers of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), followed by Zamzam
water, then Al-Kawthar Water, then the River Nile water and then the
rest of the rivers.
Zamzam well is located 18 meters from the Black Stone to the East of
the door of the Ka'ba, behindMaqam Ibrahim.
It is clearly marked by a sign: "ZAMZAM WATER WELL" which is 156 cm
above the actual well, under the Mattaf.
SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF ZAMZAM WATER
In 1908 and 1973, chemical analyses were performed and proved that
Zamzam water is indeed free of germs or pollutants. It is considered a
mineral water, as its mineral content is 2000 mg/litre. It contained
the following minerals: Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium, among many others.
Zamzam is the richest mineral water with Calcium (200 mg/litre). The
Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) was truthful when he said: "Zamzam is the feed
of Hunger".
Chemical tests proved that Zamzam water is exceptionally pure and has
neither colour nor taste. By international health standards,
especially those of the World Health Organization, Zamzam water is
perfectly potable, has good health results and has a high sodium
content.
It was also discovered that by the Will of God Almighty, on
evaporation, mineral content of Zamzam increases, however it hasno
adverse results on health, on the contrary, itis extremely beneficial.
All the above tests proved that Zamzam water is pure and potable as
per international standards, and can only confirm the miracles of the
Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), whom Allah had said: "NOR DOES HE SPEAK OUT
OF CAPRICE. IT IS NOTHINGBUT A REVELATION REVEALED (QUR'AN)"
