The story of Zam Zam Water |The Well of Zamzam In Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The Well of
Zamzam (or the Zamzam Well, or just Zamzam; Arabic: زمزم) is a well
located within the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, 20 m (66 ft) east of
the Kaaba,[1] the holiest place in Islam. According to Islamic mythology, it is
a miraculously generated source of water from God, which sprang thousands of
years ago when Abraham's (Ibrāhīm) infant son Ishmael (ʼIsmāʻīl) left with his
mother in the desert was thirsty and kept crying. Millions of pilgrims visit
the well each year while performing the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimages, in order to
drink its water. Traditional origin of the Zamzam Well[edit] Islamic tradition
states that the Zamzam Well was revealed to Hagar (Hājar), the second wife of
Abraham[2] and mother of Ishmael.[3] By the instruction of God, Abraham left
his wife and son at a spot in the desert and walked away. She was desperately
seeking water for her infant son, but she could not find any, as Mecca is
located in a hot dry valley with few sources of water. Hagar ran seven times
back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwah,
looking for water. Getting thirstier by the second, the infant Ishmael scraped
the land with his feet, where suddenly water sprang out. There are other
versions of the story involving God sending his angel, Gabriel (Jibra'il), who
kicked the ground with his heel (or wing), and the water rose.[4] A similar
story about a well is also mentioned in the Bible.[5] The name of the well
comes from the phrase Zomë Zomë, meaning "stop flowing", a command
repeated by Hagar during her attempt to contain the spring water.[1] According
to Islamic tradition, Abraham rebuilt the Bayt Allah ("House of God",
cognate of the Hebrew-derived place name Bethel) near the site of the well, a
building which had been originally constructed by Adam (Adem), and today is
called the Kaaba, a building toward which Muslims around the world face in
prayer, five times each day. The Zamzam Well is located approximately 20 m (66
ft) east of the Kaaba.[1] The well originally had two cisterns in the first
era, one for drinking and one for ablution.[4] At that time, it was a simple
well surrounded by a fence of stones. Then in the era of the Abbasid caliph
Al-Mansur 771 AD[6] (154/155 AH)[7] a dome was built above the well, and it was
tiled with marble. In 775 AD (158/159 AH),[7] Al-Mahdi rebuilt the well during
his caliphate, and built a dome of teak which was covered with mosaic. One
small dome covered the well, and a larger dome covered the room for the
pilgrims. In 835 AD (220 AH)[7] there was further restoration, and the dome was
covered with marble during the caliphate of Al-Mu'tasim.[4] In 1417 (819/820
AH),[7] during the time of the Mamluks, the mosque was damaged by fire, and
required restoration. Further restoration occurred in 1430 (833/834 AH),[7] and
again in 1499 (904/95 AH)[7] during the time of Sultan Qaitbay, when the marble
was replaced.[4] In modern times, the most extensive restoration took place to
the dome during the era of the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1915[8]
(1333/1334 AH).[ To facilitate crowd control, the building housing the Zamzam
was moved away from its original location, to get it out of the way of the
Tawaf, when millions of pilgrims would circumambulate the Kaaba. The water of
the well is now pumped to the eastern part of the mosque, where it was made
available in separate locations for men and women.
