This mysterious liquid came from the Zam Zam well which is located only a few meters east of the Ka'aba, in Mecca. Have you ever imagined how such a small well, with a diameter of about 1.46 meter to 2.66 meter, and the depth of about 30 meters quenched the thirst of billions of people from all over the world throughout centuries?

Scientifically it had been proved in the European Laboratories as well as in Saudi Arabia itself that the contents of the Zam Zam water and other wells water near the vicinity of Mecca are different.

The Zam Zam water contained far more calcium and magnesium than the other wells, and it's always maintained the same salt composition and taste.

Natural fluoride found in the water deterred bacteria growth, and it is free from bacteria mind you this water has never been chemically treated or chlorinated. There wasn't any sign of biological growth in the Zam Zam well.

It is colorless and odorless. Even if you keep it for a very long time, it will still remain crystal clear and safe for consumption.

The miracle of Zam Zam water is well known all over the world.

How The Zam Zam well came to being in the middle of a dry desert flowing non-stop is itself the greatest miracle. It has overruled the ordinary course of nature.

When all the other wells around the Mecca vicinity were dried up on many occasions, the ZamZam well will still continue to provide. There was never a history that the water ever dried, ever since it was miraculously created by baby prophet Ismail 4000 years ago. It was later rediscovered by the Prophet Mohammad's ( Shallallau'Alaihi Wassallam) grandfather, Abdul Mutholib about 1500 years ago. Furthermore, it has always fulfilled the demand for water, making it even more special.

More than 2.5 million pilgrims from around the world have gathered in Mecca in 2007 pilgrimage period. They would definitely have craved for this water. If, on average each of them were to consume a liter a day, that would work out to 2.5 millions liters of water from this little well.

It's a wonder again if you were to know that the water rushes up from the bottom of the well between 11 to 18 liters every second averaging 660 liter per minute 39,600 per hour or 950,00 liters a day. This well has never dried up; It has never stopped flowing its wonderful water, and always fulfilled the demand for it. However, it has never overflowed. There is enough supply for everyone. Even if each and everyone of them were to bring home ten liters of the water home.
