HAPPY MAULUD OF SAYYEEDA SUKAINA(AS) ***Sayeda Sakina was born on 20 Rajab, 56 AH. Her titles includes Sakina, Ma‘sūmah, Aatika, Kulthūm, and Zaynab. Her early years were said to have been spent in Medina. Her brothers included Ali ibn Husayn, Ali al-Akbar ibn Husayn, Ali Asghar ibn Husayn . Her sisters included Fāṭimah aṣ-Ṣughrá and Fāṭimah al- Kubrá also known as Sakinah. According to Shiah Muslims, she accompanied her father when he traveled from Mecca to Kufa, now known as Iraq. Conflict over Islamic principles led to conflict between Yezid and her father Husain and in a final battle on the 10th of Muharram , the entire household of Imam and his companions were killed and the survivors were captured. These survivors included Imams sisters, wives, and daughters including Sakina, the family members of the companions of Imam and Imams son Imam Zainul Abeddin who was ill and could not participate in the battle. In Damascus Yazid thought that he has won his throne and was enjoying each moment and was imposing torments upon the women and children of Imam and his companions, however Imams sister Zaynab daughter of Ali, his son Imam Zainul Abeddin, Imams daughter Fatima al-Kubra and other delivered sermons and fought their case in front of entire court of tyrant. Sources:, Sayeda Sakina bint al-Husayn was the daughter of Hussain ibn Ali. Sakina is a derivative of Sakoon meaning Peace. Sayeda Sakina was the most beloved daughter of Hussain ibn Ali and used to sleep on his chest every night. Being the daughter of the third Imam, she was different from other children of her age in many ways. She was very religious and enjoyed reading the Holy Quran and never missed her prayers. From a very early age, she took great care to make sure that her head and body were properly covered when in public. Hussain ibn Ali was often heard saying, A house without Sayeda Sakina would not be worth living in. Like any other four-to-five year old, when Sayeda Sakina went to bed at night she wanted to spend some time with her father. Hussain ibn Ali would tell her stories of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad and of the battles fought by her grandfather Ali ibn Abi Talib. There was a special bond between Sayeda Sakina and her paternal uncle, Abbas ibn Ali. He loved her more than he did his own children. If Sayeda Sakina requested for anything, Abbas ibn Ali would not rest until he fulfilled her request. During the journey from Medina to Mecca and then Mecca to Karbala, Abbas ibn Ali was often seen riding up to the mehmil (a special saddle made for women) in which Sayeda Sakina sat to make sure that she had everything she wanted. Sayeda Sakina loved her uncle just as much. While in Medina, she would several times a day, visit the house in which Abbas ibn Ali lived with his family and his mother, Ummul Banin .
