The station of Lady Ruqayyah within the mourning gatherings

Even though many historical differences still exist concerning her, amongst the people and during the mourning gatherings held in Muharram, Lady Ruqayyah has a very elevated position. The third night of Muharram is dedicated specifically for her remembrance. Many groups (heyat) of mourners are named after her. A large amount of eulogies and poetry have been composed and recited in her honor. In some of the eulogies, those people who have denied her existence have been sarcastically and slyly reprimanded.
