What makes zamzam water a holly water?

And how does it purify people, as some people claim?

Guidance, please?

I don't really like the taste of it for some reason especially when its warm...I prefer it really chilled otherwise I can't drink it at all.
I've never experienced any of that "purification" you mentioned but I've been told its useful to drink when you're sick.

I dont think not the purfication part .. there is a spiritual side to it. It was a well that got bursted when Prophet Ismael (peace be upon him) when he beat it by his feet. Since then, and the well is still active. People beleive that drinking it while praying would help .. it all lies in Allah's will and nothing to do with the water.
My friend did some reaseach on the water, and aparantly it has more minerals then a normal water.

^^^^
as arabain prince said its just a history of it
and it been mentioned in the Holy Quran...

but for purification, it just comes from Allah
we cant say the zamzam water cured him/her..

it just done Allah

The miracle of how it came to being in the middle of a desert, its consistency throught out 1000s of years, the beneficial qualities it has, the fact that it never dries up. This water is special in short!

In addition, it has been proven scientifically that Zamzam water contains healing qualities due to its higher content of Calcium and Magnesium Salts. It was a gift from god to Hajer "peace be upon her" for her patiene and it never dries up.

^^^ says it all ...

It's free

I think
