What is the virtue and status of Zamzam water, and why is it believed that it cures, even though Allah is the Healer?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Allah is the Healer, and He has made Zamzam water a means of healing. This does not contradict reliance upon Allah; rather, it is part of taking the permissible means that Allah has commanded. Taking means does not diminish reliance (tawakkul) nor the essence of monotheism (tawhid); instead, it strengthens them, as scholars have explained.
