It created an artificial lake, Lake Nasser.  83% of the lake is located in Egypt. The lake is located on the border of Egypt and Sudan. * 17% of the lake is in Sudan.  Where it is called Jail Nubia Jail Nasir is 550 km long and a maximum of 35 km wide with a total area of ​​25025 sq km *

 * Letter of Hazrat Umar to Nile River *

 * When Egypt was conquered, the people of Egypt told Hazrat Umar bin Aas that farming in our country depended on the Nile River.  We have a tradition that every year a beautiful virgin girl is thrown into the river. If this is not done, the river dries up and there is a famine.  When the river began to dry up, Hazrat Umar bin Aas wrote this incident to the then Caliph Amir al-Mu'minin Hazrat Umar Farooq. Hazrat Umar wrote a reply. *

 * Islam does not allow such barbaric and ignorant rituals. He wrote a letter to the Nile River and instructed Hazrat Umar bin As to throw it into the river. *

 This was the subject of this letter
