00:00Every second, thousands of bottles leave this facility in Makkah.
00:03But this water did not begin in steel and light.
00:05It began in a silent valley, with a mother, a child, and no sign of life.
00:11Nearly 4,000 years ago, this valley held no crops, no city, no life.
00:16In Ibrahim's era, mankind stood greater in stature than today.
00:21By Allah's command, beneath a lone desert tree,
00:26he left them with busy business, I mean, with a skin of dates.
00:32When she asked if this command was from Allah, the answer was yes.
00:36In that moment, fear yielded to certainty, and trust replaced the silence of the valley.
00:42Ibrahim turned away, leaving Hajar and her infant beneath a lonely desert tree.
00:47Supplies were few, the valley silent, yet her trust in Allah was stronger than the fear of the unknown.
00:52Hajar stood beneath the lone desert tree and watched Ibrahim walk away.
00:56Step by step his figure grew smaller, until the desert began to swallow the last trace of him.
01:02The valley returned to silence.
01:04No caravans crossed its sands, no wells broke the earth.
01:08Only wind over the desert and a mother holding her child beneath a single tree.
01:12The small supplies Ibrahim left behind would not last long.
01:16Soon the water skin would empty, and the desert would test the strength of a mother's faith.
01:22Soon the water was gone.
01:25In the silence of the valley, the cries of a thirsty infant began to echo beneath the lone desert tree.
01:32Hajar searched the horizon for any sign of life.
01:36But every direction revealed only the same endless desert.
01:42Leaving the infant beneath the lone tree, Hajar climbed the rocky hill of Marwa to search the valley from above,
01:49hoping somewhere beyond the horizon a caravan might appear.
01:52From the height of Marwa, Hajar looked down toward the valley where her infant lay beneath the lone tree.
01:58The distance was great, yet the desert offered no other place to search.
02:02Desperate to find help, Hajar climbed the rocky hill of Safa.
02:07From the height above the valley, she hoped to see a caravan crossing the desert.
02:12She descended from Safa and crossed the valley toward Marwa.
02:16In the low ground where the land dipped, Hajar ran faster, desperate to find help before thirst reached her child.
02:22From the top of Marwa, she searched again.
02:25The desert gave nothing back but silence and heat.
02:32Again and again, she crossed the valley between the two hills.
02:36Six desperate journeys through burning sand, searching for water, for people, for hope.
02:41On the seventh climb, Hajar heard a sound across the silent valley.
02:48She stood still and listened.
02:52From the height of Marwa, Hajar saw a light appear in the valley, near the place where her baby infant
03:00lay.
03:03And from the heavens, a messenger descended, a being of light beyond human understanding, standing over the child in the
03:11silent valley.
03:14By the command of God, the angel struck the earth beside the child.
03:23And from the dry desert earth, water began to flow, the spring that would be known as Zamzam.
03:33When Hajar saw the water beside her child, she rushed down the hill.
03:43She dug into the sand and the water gathered.
03:46She whispered, Zamzam, Zamzam, Zamzam, Zamzam.
03:53Nearly 4,000 years ago, this barren valley held no life.
03:57Yet beneath a lone tree, a spring gathered into a pool, and the sky itself began to notice.
04:03Travelers of Jorhum saw birds circling above the valley.
04:10They're wondering, what is it in that part of land?
04:20Following the circling birds, riders of the Jorhum tribe descended into the valley of Baca.
04:26Below a lone desert tree, they began to see something impossible in that desert.
04:31Following the circling birds, riders of the Jorhum tribe descended into the valley of Baca.
04:36Beneath a lone desert tree, they began to see something impossible in that desert.
04:39Water, where no water had ever existed.
04:48When the riders reached the water, they saw a woman and child, the lone guardians of the spring.
04:57The riders knew water could bring life.
05:00Yet the woman made clear, this valley had a guardian.
05:07The leader asked permission to settle near the spring.
05:11She allowed them to stay, but never claim the water.
05:16Jorhum settled beside the spring, but the water remained under Hajar's authority.
05:23Around Zamzam, the tents of Jorhum began to rise, and the empty valley of Baca slowly filled with life.
05:32From one spring in the desert, a community had begun to grow in the valley of Baca.
05:39Years passed in the valley of Baca, and the child of the desert grew among the tribe of Jorhum.
05:50Growing among the Jorhum, Ismail mastered the weapons of the desert.
05:56Among the people of Jorhum, Ismail learned their language and became one of them.
06:03In the harsh desert hills, Ismail learned to hunt and savuv among the warriors of Jorhum.
06:13The valley that was once empty had begun to grow into a living settlement.
06:20Far beyond the desert horizon, a man would soon return to this valley.
06:27Many years after leaving the valley, Ibrahim returned once more to the land of Baca.
06:36In the valley below, a ground man named Ismail would soon meet the traveler approaching from the desert.
06:45On the road between the desert and the valley, father and son met again.
06:54The child left beneath a desert tree had grown into a man.
06:59Here beneath the sands of Baca lay an ancient foundation, waiting for the house of God to rise again.
07:07In this valley, father and son would raise a house unlike any other on earth.
07:16Upon the ancient foundation beneath the sands of Baca, father and son began their work.
07:24Ismail gathered stones from the surrounding mountains of Baca.
07:32As the walls grew higher, Ibrahim stood upon a stone to continue building.
07:40And at the corner of the house, a sacred stone was placed.
07:47And stone by stone, the foundation of worship was raised again in the valley of Baca.
07:55In this silent valley, a sacred place of worship was restored.
08:00A place that would guide generations yet to come.
08:05Then came the command, proclaim the pilgrimage to mankind.
08:14And Ibrahim called out to the people of the earth.
08:20Across deserts, mountains and distant lands, the call traveled far beyond the valley.
08:28And from every distant land, people began their journey toward Baca.
08:35And so the first pilgrims arrived in the valley of Baca, answering the call proclaimed by Ibrahim,
08:41beside the spring of Zamzam.
08:43And in the silent valley of Baca, the first pilgrims began to gather around the sanctuary raised by Ibrahim and
08:50Ismail.
08:51And around the spring of Zamzam, a settlement slowly began to grow,
08:56the beginning of a city that would one day be known as Makkah.
09:00Across the desert, travelers continued to arrive, drawn to the valley of Baca, answered Ibrahim, calling.
09:07Drawn by the spring of Zamzam, travelers began to gather Thrus, and the silent valley slowly became a place of
09:15life.
09:16From a single spring in the desert, a valley once empty was becoming a gathering place for generations.
09:22This spring gave life for generations.
09:26Then it vanished, buried for 500 years, and then...
