Raja Nemrut kemudian memutuskan untuk membakar Nabi Ibrahim hidup-hidup.

Two columns rise from Urfa’s citadel ,In the center of Urfa is a citadel. On the top of the citadel are two columns. From between these two columns, Abraham was slingshot

Menurut kisah, Nabi Ibrahim dilempar dari atas bukit ,He was then launched like an angry bird up into the sky and down into the flames!dengan
menggunakan katapul raksasa yang diikat pada dua buah pilar besar
Dibawah bukit, telah siap menyambut nya ,ialah kobaran api untuk membakar Nabi Ibrahim. Ketika beliau di udara menuju  api, datanglah malaikat Jibril bertanya apakah beliau mahukan bantuannya. Nabi Ibrahim A.S. menjawab “tidak, aku hanya meminta bantuan dari Tuhanku”.
Menurut legenda , bara api kemudian berubah menjadi air dan kayu-kayu kemudian berubah menjadi ikan-ikan suci yang kemudian dikeramatkan.
Lokasi tempat berubahnya bara api menjadi air dan ikan-ikan tersebut sekarang ada kolam Halil ur Rahman.
Menurut legenda, putri Raja Nemrut yang bernama Zeliha percaya dan bersimpati kepada Nabi Ibrahim A.S., ketika peristiwa pembakaran tersebut terjadi, Putri Zeliha pun menangis sehingga tetesan air matanya menjadi kolam Aynzeliha (matanya Zeliha), yang berlokasi tidak jauh dari kolam utama.

Witnessing the horror of Nemrut forcing his people to worship statues, when everyone leaves for a ceremony, Abraham enters the area of statues in the palace and breaks all the statues with an axe, finally leaving the axe in the hands of the largest statue. During his trial, Abraham protests his innocence, saying ?You see the axe is in the hands of the big statue; probably he is the one who did it.? Furious, Nemrut shouts, ?How can a piece of stone take an axe and do this?? Abraham replies: If he is a real God, why can?t he do it?? Infuriated, Nemrut commands Abraham to be thrown into the fire.  Although Zeliha, daughter of Nemrut, begs for mercy, she can't convince her dad.

Wood is piled up in the area of Halil-ul Rahman Lake and the fire is set.  Nemrut soon after captured the prophet and threw him into the flames over the Castle of Urfa.  At that moment, Allah ordered that “All the flames! Be cool and safe for Abraham.”  The place where the Prophet Abraham fell into the fire becomes a lake and a rose garden and the woods become fishes.  Since that day the area in Urfa called Balıklı (Fishy) Lake is considered to be holy ground.This  large rectangular pool is known as Abadur Rahman Havuzu, and contains  hundreds of 'sacred' carp. Legend has it that anyone who eats the fish  will go blind. This has resulted in an over population of the fish ,  which are now believed to be cannibalistic.The  small lake located next to Balıklı Lake is called “Ayn-Zeliha”, or  Zeliha's Eye, referring to Nemrut's daughter Zeliha, who cried for  Abraham and whose tears then turned into a lake
Islamic  legend tells a similar story, but with the added twist, that the  sadistic Nemrut catapults Abraham from a giant sling shot situated high  on the citadel, into the burning fire. The sling is represented by the 2  corinthian columns at the entrance to the kale.
