Every family and friend wished those travelling for Hajj or Umrah Tour well and reminded them to pray for their families and bring Zamzam water on their return. Of course, you've also undoubtedly drank a drop or two of ZamZam water that was brought back from Masjid e Haram in Makkah or Masjid e Nabwi in Madinah. In all Islamic nations, ZamZam (زَمْزَمَ) water is preferred above other sources of drinking water because it is so pure and is seen as better.

History of the ZamZam water- Facts to know 

Muslims consider ZamZam water to be Holy water that has been blessed. In Mecca, Saudi Arabia, near the Masjid-al-Haram, the ZamZam well serves as the water supply. The Al-Kaaba, the centre of Islam's most sacred worship, is 20 metres to the east of the well. Both its advantages and the history of ZamZam water highlight the relevance of religion.

According to the Islamic point of view, Allah (SWT) gave Prophet Ibrahim the command to send his wife, Hagar and son, Ismail, to Makkah. Makkah was a desolate place during this time. The Prophet came home after obeying Allah's (SWT) directives to leave his wife and son with some dates and water. The dates and the water were exhausted after some time on this desolate terrain. Hagar began hunting for water as Ismail the child began to wail out of thirst. She ran up and down the hills in Safa and Marwa seven times (that is why circumambulating the Holy Kaaba seven times is an important ritual of Umrah trip from Kolkata)

Young Ismail started kicking the ground as he became anxious. Hagar then observed water coming out of the area Ismail was kicking. She started feeding Ismail after carefully gathering some water for herself. The water that sprang forth became known as the ZamZam water, or blessed water.
