People have to understand the importance and meaning of Barakah first.

The Prophet said:
" The most sublime of all earthly waters is that of zamzam;
therein one finds food for the hungry and medicine for the ill."
[ At- Tabarani ]

Now do anybody who calls oneself a Muslim doubt the above statement?

How many times did poison become medicine due to barakah, How many times Allah Ta'ala has made simple things to do miracles?

Arsenic or no arsenic, taste difference, toxicity etc etc. Whatever might be the outward findings. ZamZam is the best of all earthy waters. Period.

Out of curiosity, how do Muslims reconcile the fact that everything blessed is located in Arabia? God sent this prophet to Arabia, speaking Arabic, praying to this Qibla in Arabia, traditional Arab medicine (hijama) is recommended, Arabian water (zamzam) is blessed, Hajj pilgrimage is to Arabia, etc. Certainly if the world is created by God and is so large, why isn't anything blessed located in, for example, South America or China? Why is the final religion so Arab-centric?

I am honeslty looking for an answer. I was very very close to saying my Shahadah (even started praying regularly before) but I backed out only because I couldn't get an answer to this question to my satisfaction.
