The well of Zamzam is the most sacred site in Mecca. Muslims consider it to be the well that God (Allah) provided for Hagar and her son Ishmael when they were lost in the desert after Abraham’s death. It is a place where people from all over the world come to drink, pray, and symbolically play together as one family. Here, are some information about this site that you may not know.
Historical Background
The story of Hagar and Ishmael (called “Isa” in Arabic), a son of Abraham, is important to all Muslims. It relates to Abraham’s descendants: the two patriarchs Ishmael and Isaac, and Ishmael’s son Ishmael. The journey of Ishmael to Khaibar is also related to the destiny of the Jewish people. They are referred to as “the people of Ishmael.” It is a story that should be known, and that the faith of the Muslim family is based on. The meaning of the name of the well is that “he who drinks from this well will be well”. In the 1st century CE, the Babylonian Jewish historian, Josephus Flavius wrote that Ishmael’s encounter with the angel, who took him from the desert, occurred in the vicinity of Kibar. The well is about 9 km away from Kibar and 1 km from the mosque of Al Aqsa.
