The history of Islam provides a list of miracles that are entirely out of this world and human sense. The Zam Zam water is one of such miracles of Islam. However, it is the most enduring one. The well of ZamZam was sprung about thousands of years ago by the scraping of land by the feet of Prophet Ismail, the son of Prophet Ibrahim when he was just an infant. His mother, Hajra, left him thirsty and crying in the desert, to look for water and upon her return, she saw the miraculously running water from the land, under the feet of her son.
