The answer

It is not permissible to attribute a gift to nature or to anything from it, such as saying "Egypt is the gift of the Nile," because all blessings and goodness are from Allah alone, as stated in His Almighty قول: (And whatever of blessings and good things you have, it is from Allah). Attributing blessings to nature is an act of atheists who deny the Lord. Therefore, a Muslim must guard his tongue and pen from such phrases, as the saying "Egypt is the gift of the Nile" originated from disbelievers and indicates atheism.
