Balıklıgöl or
Lake Aynzeliha and
Lake Halil ür Rahman (Turkish:
Balıklıgöl or
Aynzeliha Gölü and
Halil-Ür Rahman Gölü) are two
lakes located in the south-west of
Şanlıurfa Province. It is believed that
Hadrat Abraham (Turkish:
Hazreti İbrahim) felt into the
Lake Halil ür Rahman when he was thrown into the fire. And it is believed that
Zeliha, the daughter of
Nemrud, felt into the
Lake Aynzeliha when she was thrown into the fire. Because there are a lot of fishes in the lakes, the lakes are called as
Balıklıgöl, literally
Lake Fish or
The Pool of Sacred Fish.
