THE SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF ZAMZAM WATER IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF HADITH PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAW

This research is motivated by the rapid development of natural science and research conducted by scientists. We already know that Zamzam water is the best water on this earth according to the hadith of the prophet Muhammad SAW. Therefore, the authors are interested in researching and studying more deeply about zamzam water based on the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad and science. This research is a library research with its primary data source as the Complete Hadith Index by Ahmad Zacky El-Syafa and supported by international journals. The data management techniques use qualitative data analysis, while the techniques and data analysis steps are describing, collecting and outlining.

Zamzam are described in holy books of various religions, including the Tawrah/Torah, The Bible and the Qur'an, as narrated in these holy books, Zamzam is the holy water and is termed as a great gift from God. It is allegedly an offshoot from holy spring in the barren desert surrounding Mecca.
Long ago, holy prophet Ibrahim/Abraham with his wife (Hajar) and baby Ismail a.s came to Mecca. To fulfil God's will, Prophet Ibrahim returned home, leaving Hajar and the infant in the desert. Soon afterward, the water thai Prophet Ibrahimleft with them ran out, and hajar was no longer able to breast-feed her child. Hajar became thirsty and so did her son, who started crying became unsettled due to extreme thirst. Hajar walked impatiently seven times between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwa searching for water.
After the seventh round, she heard the voice of the Angel Jabrail, who led her to a place where he kicked the earth and water emerged on the surface. She gathered water in her hands and collected it into a container, the water bubbled up again each time she scooped. 4

B. THE STRUCTURE OF THE WELL
The Zamzam well is hand-excavated and is about 30.5 m deep, with an internal diameterranging from 1.08 to 2.66 m. In hydrogeological terms, the well lies within the wadi Ibrahim, which runs through the Holy City of Mecca and taps ground water from the wadi alluvium, to a much lesser extent and from the underlying fresh bedrock. The well is now housed in a basement room, protected by glass panels that allow a clear view of the well. Electric pumps are used to draw water from the well, replacing the previous ropes and buckets. No visitors except dignitaries are allowed to enter the well room and its surroundings. Outside the room, there exists a service area, where cold Zamzam water fountains and dispensing containers are provided for drinking purposes. Recently, the Al-Haram Tawaf area has been extended to cover the entrance to this area and it is no longer accessible to pilgrims. Instead, cold zamzam water fountains and dispensing containers are now placed at the periphery of Tawaf area. 5 Zamzam water is different from other water in many ways : first no bacteria can form at its source, second it doesn't go mouldy nor does it change colour, taste or smell. 6 Biological growth and vegetation usually take place in the most wells. This makes water unpalatable owing to the growth of algae leading to changes in taste and odour. However, in zamzam water well, there isn't any sign of biological growth. 7 The upper 13,5 m of the well is excavated in the sandy alluvium of the wadi Ibrahim and the lower 17 m in the underlaying diorite bedrock. In between sandy alluvium and diorite bedrock., there is a thinner layer 0,5 m of permeable weathered rock. Most of the alluvial section of the wellis lined with stone masonry, except for the uppermost 1 m, which has a reinforce concrete collar. Based on the hadith above, the author will examine scientifically of the contained in the water of Zamzam according to scientific research that have been published in international journals. Kordy and Fonseka have reported that public water supply in Riyadh city was withinthe optimal range for dental health, 10 while Mohamed and Fattah reported fluoride levels of 0,26 -0,43 ppm in the drinking water of Riyadh similar to the present findings where the fluoride level in Riyadh was found to be 0,28 ppm whereas the mean fluoride level collected from zamzam water from both well and pipe sources was 0,72 ppm and 0,68 ppm. 11 Respectively in accordance to the result obtained from the institute of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for Al Hajj research centre in Om Al Qura university where they reported that the mean fluoride level in zamzam water was 0.6 ppm. 12 The result of the water samples tested by the European laboratories showed that zamzam water has a special physique that makes it advantageous water. The main differencebetwenen zamzam water and other water was in the quantity of calcium and magnesium salts, the content of these was slightly higher in zamzam water, but more significantly, the water contains fluorides thathave an effective germicidalaction. Moreever, the remarks of the European laboratories showed that the water was fit for drinking. 17

THE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF TAP AND ZAMZAM WATER
Water having high level of calcium and magnesium protect human body against Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and cancer of Oesophagus Pancreas Breast and rectum. 18 Drinking zamzam water can produce some effect on human body as it has desired concentration of calcium and magnesium. Although, we are all agreed that sodium is essential for normal human life, there is daily requirement about sodium intake, however, total daily consumption of 120-400 mg will meet the daily requirements of sodium for growing infants and youngchildren and for adults 500 mg. No health-based guideline value is therefore available. However, sodium may alter the taste of drinking-water at levels above about 200mg/litter, while in zamzam water sodium concentration is satisfactory.

Rasulullah Saw said : "Zamzam water is cure of all the diseases".
(HR Ad-Dailani) 19 Based on these hadith above, zamzam water is the cure of all the diseases. Therefore, the author will analyze scientifically the benefit of zamzam water. Twenty patients of hypertension was selected keeping all conditions constant like their diet for 10 patients instead of simple tap water zamzam was provided for 30 days while other 10 patients was drinking mineral water there was significant decrease in blood pressure for those 10 patients which use zamzam water is slightly alkaline in nature. Effect of zamzam water was may be due to presence of high concentration of calcium. Based on the table above, zamzam water contains high concentration of calcium that reduce the risk of low birth rate and it lowers the blood pressure. Zamzam water in purification and chemical composition is better than mineral water.

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Zamzam water was used in the treatment of implantation failure, for stimulation of endometrial prolactin, α and β defensin, luteinizing hormone contributing to its strong antimicrobial action. Zamzam water also acts as an antioxidant as it stimulates endometrial nitric oxide (NO). it also stimulates endometrial brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

ZAMZAM WATER AND DENTAL CARIES
A comparative study between zamzam waterand other sources of water on the prevalence of dental caries and their severity in school girls was carried out by Al-Zuhair and Khounganian. 23 Clinical examination revealed that, in the mixed dentition group, no stastitical significant differences were detected, whereas among permanent dentoition group, the mean decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) score was the lowest in all the children using zamzam water. The role of fluoride in the prevention of dental caries is very well established.

ZAMZAM WATER AND CANCER
Dietary guidelines around the world recommend increased consumption of plant foods to combat chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and osteoporosis. 24 Zamzam water has unique oncolytic properties and has a strong anti-inflammantory effect.
Zamzam water has a strong antitumor necrosis factor (TNFα) and effect on 22  interleukin I (ILI). 25 Zamzam waterhas oncolytic action through an indirect influence on endocrine immunology and the growth system of the body.
Initially, it was observed in an experimental mice model. 26 To study the oncolytic action of Zamzam water, the experimental mice were injected with azoxymethane (AOM). 27 To induce a colon tumor. Biopsies were taken from the non-tumor tissue to prepare microarray data for differentially expressed genes. Experimental mice were fed with 500 cc zamzam water daily for one month, and again a biopsy was taken after zamzam water intake. A significant (P < 0.05) reduction in the tumor size was observed that finally diminished in long-run study. One possible reason for the disappearance of the tumor is the biochemical nature of zamzam water.

Edisi: Januari-Juni 2020 72 branching and positive changes to water crystals can be achieved through prayer, music or by attaching written words to a container of water. Emoto published several volumes of a work titled Messages from Water, which contains photographs of water crystals next to essays and words of intent.
Recently, quantum biophysical semeiotics experiments have offered new evidence about the existence of a connection between water memory and healing information, exactly following Emoto's interesting hypothesis about the changes to water crystals achieved by music and songs. 28 Emoto passed different sound frequencies through zamzam water and observed variable crystal behavior based on crystallography technique among zamzam water and water samples from other parts of the world. Interestingly, he noticed that this water had a special interaction and reaction when the words of Allah in the Qur'an were recited to it. Emoto brough a few drops of zamzam water and recited the "Bismillah" in Arabic and noticed a unique arrangement of the water particles in shape. He observed the water particles taking distinct shape in comparison with other water particles shape taken from other water of the world. Emoto was not able to crystalliza zamzam water even after diluting zamzam by 1000 times. However, he got uniquely shaped crystal after freezing. 29 28 Stagnaro, S.
