Zamzam is the name of the well
that provides the water billions of people have thirstily drunk
from throughout history, especially during the Hajj pilgrimage.
It is linked to some of the most important personalities in world
history: the Prophets Abraham and Ismail (peace be upon them) and
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), as well as Ismail's
mother Hajira (may Allah be pleased with her).
The Zamzam well is located in Makkah, which is the heart of the
Hajj pilgrimage. Standing only a few meters east of the Kaba, the
well is 35 meters deep and topped by an elegant dome. |
