Zam Zam Soft Drink / Soda

In Iran, a popular aerated soft drink is called Zam Zam. Available in Cola, Orange, etc. etc. Commking 22:38, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Added reference to existing Zam Zam Cola article. Thanks for help. Zora 00:00, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Tofiqul Alam?

I know nothing about Islam or the Zamzam well, but the first sentence in the second paragraph of "Zamzam today" ("Tofiqul Alam has drank this water and it has helped hime cure his mental illness.") seems suspicious. Can someone who knows something about this topic check up on this/edit it? On top of being of questionable veracity, the sentence is poorly placed in the article and contains a misspelling.

The history & significance

That whole section is completely unsourced, POV with religious bias. Please amend or I'll delete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.216.200.19 (talk) 13:18, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

  • The origin story is as unbiased as it can be. Outside of Muslim tradition, there is nothing important or recorded about the Zamzam Well, and the traditional story, clearly denoted as such, is all there is. Blah2 (talk) 01:08, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Eh?

3rd paragraph in the "Technical information" section. "electric conductivity, pH, >> Eh <<, and temperature" The "Eh" link leads to "a spoken interjection in English, Italian and Spanish meaning "Huh?", "What?", which must be wrong, surely? I mention it on here because I don't know how to fix it myself, sorry. Adblock 15:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

'Brain surgery' picture

I agree with Zora that the picture is somewhat 'ugly'. However, deleting it on that basis is rather POV; if it really is a picture of water flowing from the Zamzam well, then there's no good reason for deleting it. I think that, unless a better picture of water flowing from the Zamzam well can be found, then the image should be kept (at least if the picture is described in words). However, the image shouldn't be at the top of the article, as it certainly doesn't look like the Zamzam well and is in no way guaranteed to capture the reader's attention (due it it's obscure - or ugly - appearance).

The picture is unsourced, and will be removed in seven days, so it doesn't seem like a good idea to put a lot of effort into formatting and placing it. Salman spent a fair bit of time today uploading pictures -- none of which are sourced and all of which will be removed.
It seems to me a kindness to the people doing Hajj not to post that picture ... how one could look at it and then want to drink Zamzam water is beyond me! Zora 12:06, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Zora

The Existence and the continuity of “Well of Zamzam” with it the existence of Mecca for thousands of years in this hostile water scarce place. is Just one testable irrefutable evidence that prove the Miraculous Quran.

What I want from you Zora is to prove to us Please that the mythical Solomon temple is TRUE FACT did exist NOT a MYTH . Because despite of archeological traces been founded of the total devastated lost city Pompeii in Italy, There is NO ONE single proof or trace about this temple and or the so called Ark of Covenant been FOUNDED yet !!

Cheers and Regards
