The Zamzam well is located within the Sacred ‎Mosque in Mecca, about 20m east of the Kaaba (the ‎black stone Muslims dance around and kiss).
Millions of pilgrims visit Zamzam well to drink its ‎water during the pilgrimage. The Quran says nothing
about the well – pointing to the fact that it wasn’t ‎part of the rites observed by early Muslims.
‎
In the Hadiths collected 250 years after the Quran, we ‎are told that when Hagar and Ishmael were in the
desert and Ishmael was thirsty, he scraped the sand ‎and water was generated from that point. So, the
hadith is saying the wild kicks of an infant dug a 98 ft ‎well in a desert within seconds! Another version of
the story says the well was dug by an angel’s foot. In ‎another version, the angel dug it using his wings. [1]
‎
In a bid to redact the Biblical account of Hagar and ‎Ishmael to support Islam’s myths, the hadith ends up ‎nailing itself. One, Abraham, Ishmael and Hagar were
never in Mecca and historically have no link with ‎Zamzam well. Two, it’s incredulous to accept that an
oasis morphed into a deep well without changing its ‎course or affected by climatic factors for over a ‎millennia.
‎
Some historians point out that Mecca probably didn’t ‎exist as a city before 4 BC when Yemenite
immigrants colonized it. There’s no way Zamzam ‎well would date back to the time of Abraham. To ‎make the myth more appealing, Ibn Abbas ostensibly ‎quotes Muhammad saying: “The best water on the
face of the earth is Zamzam. In it is food for ‎nourishment and healing for illness.” [2]
‎
In 2011, a team of scientists established that the ‎water from Zamzam well contained high levels of ‎nitrate, potentially harmful bacteria and arsenic at‎ levels 3 times the legal limit in the UK. This could ‎result in cancer. [3] This research blew the prayer
caps off the heads of the clerics in Saudi Arabia.
Eventually, they managed to find their own ‎“scientists” to tell them what their ears of faith ‎wanted to hear.
‎
From the earliest biography of Muhammad, the truth ‎about Zamzam unfolds. Muhammad’s grandfather, ‎Abdul Muttalib, was said to have had a dream while
sleeping in a ‘sacred’ enclosure in which he was‎ instructed to dig a well at a slaughter place of the ‎Quraish tribe, between two idols – Isaf and Naila. In ‎the dream, he was told to re-dig a Zamzam well ‎which the Jurham tribe had filled up when they left ‎Mecca.
‎
When Abdul Muttalib embarked on his well project, ‎he faced much opposition. He even vowed to
sacrifice his son if he succeeded and the divination ‎lot alarmingly fell on his favourite son, Abdullah ‎(Muhammad’s father). But after consulting a ‎sorceress, he was told to sacrifice camels to Allah/ ‎Hubal in place of his son, Abdullah. The Zamzam ‎well became a religious site drawing more pilgrims to ‎the Kaaba. [4] Indeed, the Zamzam well was part of‎ pre-Islamic pagan rites and was dedicated to two‎deities – Isaf and Naila.
‎
Arab scholar, Fahd T., says that Isaf and Naila were ‎“a pair of gods worshipped at Mecca before Islam.
Several orientalists of the past century … saw in ‎them, not unreasonably, replicas of Baal and Baalat.
Indeed Isaf and Naila do display the essential ‎characteristics distinguishing this pair of gods from
the many avatars known in the various Semitic ‎religions: physical representations by two sacred
stones erected close to each other, or by two parallel ‎hills…” [5] It’s possible that the same fertility deities ‎of the Zamzam well were also represented by Safa
and Marwa – the two “sacred” hills Muslims run ‎through during the hajj.
‎
During pre-Islamic days, many pagans came to ‎Mecca for pilgrimage. The Kaaba shrine at the time ‎had about 360 idols whose names the pilgrims (who ‎were often stark naked) would chant as they circulate ‎the stone. Although Muhammad threw away the
images of the idols and stopped the nude aspect of ‎the rite when he took over the Kaaba, he retained ‎most of the pagan rituals. Today, Muslim pilgrims ‎wear the Ihram clothing as they ignorantly offer ‎worship to ancient Arabian pagan deities (now
disguised as “monotheism”).
‎
An Indian author even asserts that from certain ‎similarities, the Kaaba was originally a temple of ‎Shiva. He says that “the Shankara stone which
Muslim pilgrims reverently touch and kiss in the ‎Kaaba” is an emblem of Shiva and “wherever the ‎Shiva emblem is, the Ganges must co-exist. True to ‎this association, a sacred fountain [Zamzam] exists
near the Kaaba.” [6]
‎
While this claim may be farfetched, in any case, ‎there’s nothing ‘sacred’ about the Zamzam well ‎anymore than the black stone idol. (Credit- Victor Ayeni Salvador)‎
