***Letter to the River Nile*** . On pages 56-57 of Savāniḥ Karbalā [the 192-page publication of Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami], . ‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā Muhammad Na’īmuddīn Murādābādī یدﺎ ﳍا ا ﺔ ﲪر ﻪ ﻴﻠـﻋ has mentioned an event: . When Egypt was conquered, one day the people of Egypt requested Sayyidunā Amr bin ‘Ās ﻋﱃﺎﻌﺗﷲار ﻪﻨ ـ : . O our chief! There is a ritual regarding our River Nile that it does not keep on flowing steadily until we perform it. . He asked, “What is that ?” . They replied, “We take a virgin girl from her parents, decorate her with elegant dress and fine jewellery and then hurl her into the River Nile.” . Sayyidunā ‘Amr bin ‘Ās ﻋﱃﺎﻌﺗﷲار ﻪﻨ ـ said, . “This can’t be done in Islam and Islam abolishes such ancient non-sensible rituals.” . Thus that ritual was abandoned. The flow of the river became slower and slower and ultimately the people intended to migrate from that place. . Noticing this, Sayyidunā ‘Amr bin ‘Ās ﻋﱃﺎﻌﺗﷲار ﻪﻨ ـ wrote down the entire situation to the second caliph Sayyidunā ‘Umar bin Khattāb ﻪﻨـﻋﱃﺎﻌﺗﷲار. In its reply the caliph wrote, . “You did right. . Surely, Islam eradicates these types of rituals. There is an epistle with this letter of mine, . Put it into the River Nile. . When the letter reached Sayyidunā ‘Amr bin ‘Ās ﻋﱃﺎﻌﺗﷲارـ ﻪﻨ and he took out that epistle from the letter, he found that it was written in it: “O River Nile! Do not flow if you flow at your own accord and if Allah ﻞﺟوﺰﻋ makes you flow, I supplicate to Almighty Allah ﻞﺟوﺰﻋ to make you flow.” . Sayyidunā ‘Amr bin ‘Ās ﻌﺗﷲار ﻋﱃﺎـ ﻪﻨ put that epistle into the River Nile. . Within a night the water level rose by 16 yards and that ritual got completely abolished in Egypt. .
