Zam Zam Water

As part of his celebration of completing his recent journey to the hajj (the annual pilgrimage to Mecca), Barry’s co-worker invited him and other colleagues into his office to share dates, chocolate and some Zam zam water. All Muslims with the means and health are required to undertake the hajj, the fifth pillar of Islam, at least once in their lives. The short story of this water is that it is the spring from which Allah quenched the thirst of Ismaa’eel the son of Ibraaheem when he was an infant. Allah sent Gabriel, and he struck the earth, and water appeared. Zam zam water has scientifically been proven to contain healing qualities due to its higher content of Calcium and Magnesium Salts and also natural fluorides that encompass a germicidal action. I usually ONLY blog my own photographs but in this case Getty Images provided a good shot.
