When you visit pilgrims who have just returned from Hajj 2022, ensure you drink Zam-Zam water, no matter how small.
Investigations carried out by Muslim News showed that Zam-Zam water is the purest form of water on earth. It has a unique crystal clear look and a high concentration of calcium, among other medical benefits.
Say “Bismillah”. Supplicate to Allah on everything you desire, e.g good health, halaal wealth, beneficial knowledge, etc. Then drink with your right hand. Say “Alhamdulillah” after drinking.
Even if the Hujjaj does not give you other gifts (“the usual abode Makkah”) other than a taste of the Zam-Zam water, rejoice and give thanks to Allah, for the Prophet (SAW) said: “The best water on the face of the earth is the water of Zam-Zam. It is a kind of food and a healing from sickness.”
It’s important to note that unlike previous Hajj exercises, each pilgrim is entitled to only 5 litres of Zam-Zam water – no more, no less.
NAHCON, the body in charge of Hajj operators in Nigeria, urged pilgrims not to insert bottles of Zam-Zam water in their luggage, be it hand luggage or check-in bags.
This is to avoid their cases being opened in order to remove the bottles at baggage screening centers.
The body also encouraged pilgrims officials to guide their pilgrims on the matter accordingly.
