Wahhabi Saudi regime conspiracy to dry up Zamzam water resources

n00165748-bThe construction of the world’s two highest minarets at the Grand Mosque in Makkah has ignited debates after experts warned that the new constructions could dry up Zamzam water resources.

The new minarets, constructed by the US-backed Saudi Bin Ladin Group, would be 420-meter high as part of the ongoing Grand Mosque expansion.

The first minaret will be constructed on the northeast side, while the other will be located in the northwest side.

The foundations for the new minarets can now be clearly seen and each covers 900 square meters.

Suspicions surrounding the construction erupted after consultancy studies pointed that work in the area could dry up Zamzam water resources.

Starting several months ago, photos of the expansion project spread across engineers and social media, sparking lots of discussions and debates about the negative effects of these structures.

Citing international consulting offices, critics say they could have a negative effect on the sources of Zamzam water.

The studies revealed that the construction of high-rise buildings and explosives used in removing mountains around the Grand Mosque can have a damaging affect on the sources of Zamzam water.

The blessed Well of Zamzam has been gushing for hundreds of years.

Allah created the Zamzam well to provide Hajar, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), and her baby son Isma`eel with water in the hot, dry valley of Makkah.

In her desperate search for water, Hajar ran seven times back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwa to provide for her thirsty baby.

The act remains a necessary rite of pilgrims must complete.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has recommended drinking from the blessed water, saying it serves whatever purpose it is being used for.

In September, 2010, King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz inaugurated Zamzam Water Project, which aims to ensure a constant supply of pure Zamzam water, to preserve the spring itself, and to package and distribute Zamzam water in a modern way.

Each year, pilgrims return to their home countries after successfully finishing hajj with bottles of Zamzam water atop their favorite list of gifts.
