Pool of Sacred Fish
Made by nazarethz
Lying southwest of the city center, these two lakes are known as the spot where Abraham fell when he was cast into the flames, and thanks to their sacred fish and the historical monuments in their vicinity attract more tourists than any other place in Urfa. Lake Halil-ür Rahman is graced by a special beauty due to the Rizvaniye Mosque on its northern shore, and the Halil-ür Rahman Mosque and Madrasa at its southwestern corner. When the Prophet Abraham opposed the cruel ruler Nimrod, and defended the idea of a single God in an attempt to woo the people from their idols, Nimrod cast him into the flames from the hill on which the citadel now stands. But God commanded the fire to be cool and healthful (The Holy Koran, Enbiya, Verse 69), upon which the fire turned to water and the firewood to fish, and Abraham fell unscathed into a rose garden. According to legend, Nimrod’s daughter Zeliha believed in Abraham way and therefore threw herself into the flames; the place she fell became Lake Aynzeliha. Visitors hold the fish in both lakes to be sacred, and will neither inflict harm on nor eat them.
