Sakinah (Arabic: سـكـيـنـة, "Calmness, Peace of Mind"), née Ruqayyah bint Al-Husain (Arabic: رقـيـة بـنـت الـحـسـيـن) (20 Rajab, 56 AH – 5 Rabi' al-thani, 60/61 AH; 676–680/681 CE), was the daughter of Al-Husayn ibn 'Alī (Arabic: الـحـسـيـن ابـن عـلي) and Rubab bint Imra’ al-Qais ibn ‘Adī bin Aws (Arabic: إمـرئ الـقـيـس ابـن عـدي بـن أوس). Her brothers included ‘Ali Zaynul-‘Abidin, ‘Ali al-Akbar, and ‘Ali al-Asghar. Her sisters included Fāṭimah aṣ-Ṣughrá and Fāṭimah al-Kubrá.
It is believed that there are three daughters of Imam Al-Husain, two of whom went along with him to Karbala’: Fatemah al-Kubra and Ruqayyah. Ruqayyah was the four-year-old daughter of Al-Husain. Fatemah was al-Kubra (Arabic: الـكـبـرى, "the Elder"), also called 'Sakinah'. Another daughter of Al-Husain, that is Fatemah al-Sughra, was apparently left behind at Al-Medinah at that time, due to an illness.
Sayyidah Ruqayyah was born on 20th of Rajab, 56 AH. Her early years were said to have been spent in Medina. She was the most beloved daughter of Imam Al-Husain the grandson of the Islamic Nabi (Arabic: نَـبِي, Prophet) Muhammad. When she went to bed at night, she would want to spend some time with her father, and used to sleep on his chest every night. Al-Husain was often heard saying that a house without her would "not be worth living in." He would tell her stories of her great-grandfather, and of the battles fought by her grandfather, ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib.
