Iranians mourn Imam Hossein's 3-year old youngest daughter

By: Sheikh M Khurasani

HOLY CITY OF QOM, Iran: To commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Sayedeh Sakinah bintul Hosein (AS) also known as Roqayyah bintul Hosein, the youngest daughter of Imam Hosein (AS), hundreds of Iranian mothers along with their little daughters gathered in the Iranian capital, Tehran.

According to traditions it was 4th day of Safar, the second month of Islamic calendar, when the 3-year old Sakinah was martyred after seeing her slaughtered father Imam Hosein (AS) in her dream; some other traditions say it was 6th day of Safar while some other tell she kissed martyrdom on Safar 13.

After the martyrdom of Imam Hosein and his 72 faithful followers in 680 AD in Karbala the cruel forces of Yazid took the chaste ladies of prophet Muhammad (s) family along with children into captivity binding them in chains and moved them to Sham or modern day, Damascus.

Sakinah bintul Hosein (AS) kissed martyrdom in very deep dark zindaan (prison). Her grave was also made therein.
