Ruqayah Sultan was the first wife of Jalaludding Muhammad Sultan later Akbar. Very little is written about Ruqayah in Mughal Chronicles which obviously are heavily distorted by later Mughals specially Aurangzeb who was so much against history that he kicked out all the historians from his palace. He considered writing History as against Islamic traditions/Shariat. It is a clear fact that he distorted many things in Mughal works and heavily destroyed facts regarding Maryam-uz-zamani . Ruqayah Sultan was a Timurid princess still her name is very less written in mughal works(Well not a strong point though.) It is said that Akbar once had become so angry with Ruks that he stopped talking to her for 7 years and only started talking again when Salim was born. So she must had done something terrible which torn her apart from him. Maryam Zamani, his third LEGAL WIFE, A RAJPUT AND VALIDE OF MUGHALS WAS CLEARLY THE MOST BELOVED OF THE PADSHAH AKBAR. He loved her very much and cared for her till his death. He by her and Man Singh's influence named Khusrau as his successor and not Salim. She held the title of WALI NIMAT BEGUM MEANS GIFT OF ALLAH. Giving such a title to a Kafir is a big deal. She was the richest lady in the Harem and maintained her separate MAHAL and her palace was closest to the emperor(Again a fact which proves she was very close to him.) Those who are constantly repeating Ruqayah was his beloved and blah blah please do not believe WIKIPEDIA AT ALL. Maryam uz zamani built Mosques, Temples and did Business. She controlled a ship which went to Haj at Mecca. Such a sacred responsibility was bestowed on Maryam not
