Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Lohoof (Sighs of sorrow) Signs and Incidents that Became Appeared after the Martyrdom of Imam Husayn Praise be to Allah the Lord of the worlds and blessings be upon the Messenger, the Prophet, the Warner, the Trustworthy and upon his Progeny, the blessed descendants, and curse be upon all their enemies. No matter how powerful the tyrants are and no matter how long their rule lasts, it is of no use because Allah the most High is All-Powerful against them.

Thus, Allah, the Almighty, always lies in wait for the tyrants and the sinners. He punishes them and sends different types of chastisement on them in this world and the Hereafter. The same rule applies to those who did injustice to Imam Husayn (a.s.). They martyred him and insulted the ladies of his family. Allah punished them in different ways and made them taste the bitterness of different calamities, although their chastisement would be much more in the hereafter.

The Almighty Allah always helps those who defend the truth and those who have to face injustice in the way of exalting the truth. Those who endeavored to keep the name of Allah alive and bore the in-justice patiently for defending the truth, have become famous in this world and their enemies shall dwell in the Hell forever; an unfortunate destiny!

After the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a.s.) the Almighty Allah showed many signs and miracles that prove the veracity of Imam Husayn (a.s.) and his high and esteemed position near Allah. For this reason their name and remembrance will remain alive forever, and all those freedom-loving people have followed him and shall continue following him till the uprising of Qaem Ale Muhammad (a.s.) when he would finally take the revenge of the holy blood of Imam Husayn (a.s.).

Here we mention some of the signs and clear proofs mentioned in different Islamic sources that became apparent after the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a.s.). 1 The severed head of Imam Husayn (a.s.) recited Quran and supplications while it was held aloft on the point of a lance. Miftahun Najah fi Manaqibe Ale Aba: P.145; Al- Khasaisul Kubra 2/127; Al-Kawakibu Durriya: P.57; Isafur Raghebeen: P.218; Nurul Absar: P.125; Ehqaq- ul-Haq 11/452-453.

2 Imam Husayn (a.s.) threw his holy blood towards the sky and not a drop of it fell back on the earth. Kifayatut Talib 284; Ihqaq ul-Haqq 454.
