The correct spelling is Ruqaiya and her full name was Ruqaiya Sultana Begum. She and Akbar had no children together. Akbar was her first cousin and she married him when she was 9 years old. Even though she remained childless through 53 years of marriage, she raised her grandson, Prince Khurram.
Akbar's first wife was Ruqayya Sultan Begum, daughter of his uncle, Hindal. Twin sons were born to Akbar in 1564, but they died in infancy. His eldest surviving son was Salim (later Jahangir), who succeeded him in 1605.
Ruqaiya Sultan Begum was the first wife of Akbar. She was the daughter of Hindal Mirza, the youngest son of Emperor Babur.
Jodha Bai, also known as Hira Kunwari, was the wife of Mughal Emperor Akbar. She is believed to have had at least three children with Akbar: a son, Jahangir, and two daughters, Shakrul Nisha Begum and Khanum Sultan Begum.
Begum Nur Jahan
After Bairam Khan's death, his widow, Salima Sultan Begum and her step-son Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khan were sent to Akbar's court. Akbar married Salima in 1561. Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khan became one of Akbar's nine jewels.
Akbar's father's son is Akbar (or any brothers Akbar might have.)
jahangir was the son and successor of akbar.
The son and successor of Akbar was Jahangir.
Yes. Jahangir was the son of Akbar the Great from his Hindu wife Jodhaa Bai or Harkha Bai.
Akbar had 36 wives and over 300 women in his Harem. His 3 major wives were Ruqaiyya Sultan Begum (Muslim; his cousin; married at the age of 9 and his most esteemed wife), Salima Sultan Begum (Muslim; the widow of his advisor, Bairam Khan) and Heera Kunwari/Harkha Bai (Hindu; misnamed as Jodha Bai; she bore his son and successor Jahangir). In addition to this, two facts must be made clear that: 1. "Jodha Bai" was NOT the name of Akbar's Hindu wife. It was actually the name of Jahangir's Hindu wife a.ka. Taj Bibi Bilqis Makani (maiden name Jagat Gosain), princess of Jodhpur (hence the name 'Jodha'). Many people confuse the two names and believe Jodha was the name of Akbar's Hindu wife. 2. Akbar did NOT have a Christian wife. "Mariam/Maryam-uz-Zamani" was the name of Akbar's Hindu wife, after she gave birth to Jahangir. The name Mariam-uz-Zamani means 'Mary of the Age'. As the term 'Mariam' resembles the Christian names like Maria, Mary etc, hence people get confused that Akbar had a Christian wife.
No. Akbar was the son of Humayun.
Akbar had five sons and three daughters: His twins Hasan and Husain had died in infancy. His third and only surviving son was Salim (later Jahangir). His other sons Murad and Daniel had died before their father. Akbar's daughters were Shahzada Khanum, Shukr-un-nisa Begum and Aram Banu Begum.
