Will water change if one reads a prayer over it?
Water is one of the most important elements for the inhabitants of the Earth. We are accustomed to water, that it is always around us, falling from the sky, flowing in a river or from a tap. The chemical formula of water is also well known - H2O. But what happens if you read a prayer over water, how will it change?
A number of studies were conducted when water was subjected to certain emotional influences and then frozen. It was discovered that the shape of the resulting ice crystals changes depending on the emotional coloring of the information received by the water. Positive thoughts, feelings, words generated beautiful symmetrical patterns. Negative ones caused the formation of chaotic and shapeless crystal patterns.
Muslims have long practiced such an effect on water. It is known that when reading verses of the Koran or other prayers on the liquid, it acquires healing properties. Therefore, believers widely use such water to treat all kinds of diseases, to improve memory, even to treat those possessed by spirits, called jinn in the Islamic tradition.
Thus, according to the Sunna, it is recommended to read the suras of the Koran, say prayers on water, then blow on the water and drink it. Pour the remaining water over yourself or bathe, as the Prophet ﷺ did to his companion Sabit bin Qais bin Shammas (Narrated by Abu Dawood, No. 3885).
It is praiseworthy and very desirable if you manage to read all this on Zamzam water. Because the Messenger of God ﷺ said, “Zamzam is a very blessed water. It is both food and drink for you, as it is also a cure for diseases.” (Narrated by Imam Muslim, No. 2473).
Also, in the hadith it is said, “Zamzam is a healing for the one who uses it for this purpose.”
