Damascus ,Syria , that contains the grave of the youngest daughter of Husayn ibn ‘Alī by the name of Fātimah. She is often referred to by her titles: "Ruqayya" and "Sukayna" byArabic speakingMuslims , and the title: "Sakina" byPersian andUrdu speakers.After enduring the advent of Karbalā and the torturous journey to Damascus that followed it, Lady Ruqayya finally died in Yazid's prison, where she was originally buried. Years later however, upon the flooding of her gravesite with sewage water, Lady Ruqayya's grave was reopened and she was moved to the site where the Mosque now stands today.
