water bubbled out from beneath
the sand where the child lsmael
was kicking with his tiny heels.
“
Zam! Zam! Stop! Stop flowing
away!
” Hajar [a] cried as she quick-
ly began digging around the foun-
tain with her bare hands. This she
did to stop the water from flowing
away and to form a pond.
Many years later a deep well was
dug at the fountain. The well is
known to this day as the well of
Zamzam
. Allah has blessed the
water of
Zamzam
. This is the well
from which people drink during the
pilgrimage, the
Haj
. Some even
take the
Zamzam
water back to
their own countries to share with
their families and friends. Have you
ever drunk
Zamzam
water?
