Zamzam is sacred water. Countless Muslims gain blessings from it. More than 5000 years ago, this water began flowing due to the heels of Prophet IsmāꜤīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام coming into contact with the ground.[1]

Regarding it, the final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم explained, “The water of Zamzam is for whatever reason it is drunk.”[2] He also declared, “The best water on earth is Zamzam.”[3]

A miracle of the blessed water of Zamzam is how its taste keeps changing. It can vary from slightly salty to extremely sweet. If drunk at 2am, it can taste like freshly milked cow’s milk.[4]
