'''Sakina Banu Begum''' ({{lang-fa|سکینہ بانو بیگم}}; died 25 August 1604) was a [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] princess, the daughter of Mughal emperor [[Humayun]].

==Life==
Sakina Banu Begum was the daughter of Emperor [[Humayun]], and his wife [[Mah Chuchak Begum]]. Her siblings included, [[Mirza Muhammad Hakim]], Farrukh Fal Mirza, [[Bakht-un-Nissa Begum]], and Amina Banu Begum.<ref>{{cite book|author =[[Gulbadan Begum|Begum, Gulbadan]]|title=The History of Humayun (Humayun-Nama)|publisher=Royal Asiatic Society|year=1902|pages=186}}</ref>

Sakina Banu Begum was married to Shah Ghazi Khan,<ref>{{cite book|title=The Proceedings of the Indian History Congress - Volume 36|publisher=Indian History Congress|year=1975|pages=169}}</ref> the cousin of Naqib Khan Qazvini, a personal friend of Akbar. His uncle Qazi Isa had long served as the Qadi of Iran, came to India and was taken into government service. In 1573, after his death, Naqib Khan reported to Akbar that he had left his daughter to him. Akbar went to Naqib's house and married her. Thus, two of his cousins were married into the imperial family.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Shāhnavāz Khān|last1=Awangābādī|first2=Baini|last2=Prasad|first3='Abd al-Hayy ibn|last3=Shāhnavāz|title=The Maāthir-ul-umarā: Being biographies of the Muḥammadan and Hindu officers of the Timurid sovereigns of India from 1500 to about 1780 A.D.|publisher=Janaki Prakashan|year=1979|pages=383}}</ref>

In 1578, Sakina Banu Begum was sent to [[Kabul]], before Akbar's second march on the city. Her brother at that point seemed to have conducted negotiations with the Abdulkhairi Uzbek of the Marwa-un-nahr and with the Safavids, who treated him as a sovereign ruler as well as another Timurid potentate, Prince Sulaiman Mirza. She was sent to pacify the Mirza and was advised to offer Prince Salim Mirza (future Emperor [[Jahangir]]) in marriage to his daughter as an incentive.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Margaret R.|last1=Greer|first2=Wapter D.|last2=Mignolo|first3=Maureen|last3=Quilligan|title=Rereading the Black Legend: The Discourses of Religious and Racial Difference in the Renaissance Empires|date=September 15, 2008|pages=62|publisher=University of Chicago Press|isbn=978-0-226-30724-4}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|first=Anne|last=Walthall|title=Servants of the Dynasty: Palace Women in World History|publisher=University of California Press|year=2008|pages=107|isbn=978-0-520-25444-2}}</ref>
