Lubena Firdos on Instagram: "Zamzam ke kuein ka wo raaz jo camera ne pehli baar dikhaya 😳
Zamzam ka kuan 4000 saal se chal raha hai. Na sookha, na gandda hua. Yeh hai Allah ki rehmat ka mojza. 🤍

Verdict: Kuch claims supported hain, lekin several details exaggerated or not well evidenced.
The video mixes broadly true facts about Zamzam with devotional framing and some unsupported specifics about the 1979 inspection and water source.
Claim-by-claim breakdown
Accurate (85% confidence): The Zamzam well was cleaned in 1979, and a camera was lowered into it during that work. Saudi Gazette reports that the well was cleaned in 1979 under King Khalid’s directives and that Dr. Yahya Koshak was given responsibility for the project.
Accurate (92% confidence): The Zamzam well is about 30 meters deep, or roughly 100 feet deep. Saudipedia and academic sources describe Zamzam Well as about 30 m deep.
Accurate (78% confidence): Zamzam water has been flowing for about 4,000 years. Recent reporting and Saudi references describe Zamzam as flowing uninterrupted for more than 4,000 years.
Accurate (83% confidence): The Zamzam well is never dry and has continued supplying water for thousands of years. Saudi and other reporting describes the well as continuously supplying water and not being depleted in normal use.
Unsupported (45% confidence): The water comes from three separate underground sources or fractures. Available sources support recharge through fractured rock and groundwater flow, but not a clearly documented ‘three-source’ claim.
Accurate (70% confidence): The well refills very quickly after pumping. Reputable sources describe substantial discharge and continuous recharge, but not the exact refill timing stated in the video.
Unsupported (33% confidence): The well was found to contain old objects like buckets, mugs, and coins that had fallen in over time. No authoritative source located that specifically documents these recovered items.
Accurate (88% confidence): The Zamzam well originated from the time of Ismail (Ishmael) in Islamic tradition. Islamic sources and standard retellings link Zamzam’s origin to Hagar and Ishmael.
