Zamzam Water: Food and Cure

 One of my best memories of Hajj is sipping Zamzam all throughout the day while gazing at the blessed Ka'bah.

Below is a nice article which combines the relevant ahadeeth on Zamzam and goes on to discuss the scientific discoveries about it.

From the article:

Now, the question is: Which highly advanced scientific establishments were at the Prophet’s time to give him such amazing information about Zamzam water? Which highly specialized medical research centers attained such astoundingly accurate knowledge about this water? Which gigantic chemical labs analyzed this water, calculated most accurately the rates of minerals and bi-carbonates in it, and helped Prophet Muhammad, (PBUH), to provide such amazingly accurate information about this blessed water? It is, indeed, Allah’s Divine Revelation! It is by no means the Prophet’s human words! It is, undoubtedly, Divine Revelation!

 

The well-known religious scholar and Imam, Ibn Al-Qayyim, said: “I have tried, among others, to seek medical cures from Zamzam water; and I have got really amazing benefits, as it has cured me of several illnesses by Allah’s Leave. I saw people who remained about a fortnight or more fed only with Zamzam water; and they did not feel hungry or tired, but went on going round the Ka’bah like other people. Some even informed me that they remained for forty days fasting and breaking the fast with Zamzam water alone, with no other kind of food, and that they were able to go round the Ka’bah several times.”
