Ryan Conroy's clinical 75th minute strike inside the box from A Holmes lay-off was the only spark in a nondescript second period.
First Division leaders Rovers' frustration over a fruitless afternoon was only heightened by hearing that closest rivals Dunfermline and Falkirk also suffered the same fate.
Raith had gone through much of a first half with a confident swagger that was derived from their standing as league pacesetters against a side that spent much of the opening 45 minutes camped inside their own half.
In the first clear-cut chance of the game, Raith captain Iain Davidson rose high inside the box to meet Allan Walker's free-kick but his downward header was well saved by David Hutton.
Rovers were made to pay for a lacklustre second-half display when Conroy darted into the area to lash a low drive past David McGurn.
Once again Queens manage to dig out a result without looking particularly convincing so there plenty of room for improvement and a win against Cowdenbeath next week will consolidate our position in the league.
Queens MAD man of the match - Craig Reid - Another outstanding contribution from the defender.
