What did happen in the universe after Imam “Hussein” [AS]’s martyrdom on the day of ‘Ashura?

Shias believe that appointing Imam and prophet [PBUH]’s successor is in the hands of god and people can’t interfere in this regard, as selecting prophet is done by god. There are many verses in Quran that prove this matter. God says about the Imamate of Hadrat “Abraham” [AS]:

وَإِذِ ابْتَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ قَالَ إِنِّي جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامًا قَالَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِمِينَ 

And when Abraham was tested by His Lord with certain words and he fulfilled them, He said: 'I have appointed you as a leader for the nation. ' (Abraham) asked: 'And of my descendants? 'my covenant, ' said He, 'the harm doers shall not receive it.

Sura AL-BAGHARA / verse 124

And god almighty says:

وَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَ يَعْقُوبَ وَ كلاُّ جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّا

So when he turned away from them and those they worshipped, other than Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them we made a Prophet. 

Sura MARYAM / verse 49

According to this verse Hadrat “Abraham” was appointed as Imam by god, as he was selected as prophet by god. but there is not any verse in which people were assigned to select Imam or prophet. And Shias also believe that as divine prophets [PBUTH] need to perform miracle to prove their prophecy, their successors should have used “miracles” otherwise their sayings aren’t accepted.

Shia Imams [AS] have had many “miracles” during their life that after seeing them from Imams [AS], people would accept and surrender to their Imamate.

Imam “Hussein” [AS] the third Imam of Shia had many miracles during his life even after his martyrdom and these miracles prove that he was the right Imam appointed by god and competent successor after his brother Imam “Hassan” [AS]; because it’s impossible that god gives such miracles to incompetent people and false claimants of divine guardianship and paves the way for people to go stray by giving miracles to these false claimants.

In this brief article, we deal with Imam “Hussein” [AS]’s miracles performed after his martyrdom, unique miracles that make people flabbergasted. With no doubt each one of these miracles could be enough for shedding light on truth for truth-seekers and those who seek divine guidance, provide ignorance bigotries are thrown away#

And since Shias and “Ahl al-Bayt” [AS]’s followers have no doubt about the imamate of “Hussein” [AS] and his miracles and from another side, we’re addressing those who don’t want to accept the guardianship and rather than following “Ahl al-Bayt” [AS] they follow “Ahl al-Bayt” [AS]’s enemies, we try to quote and prove his miracles merely from their {Sunnis}  most valid books quoted by their best scholars to perform ultimatum with all truth-seekers and remove all excuses.

1: encountering stars on the sky:

عن عيسي بن الحارث الكندي ، قال : لما قتل الحسين مكثنا سبعة أيام إذا صلينا فنظرنا إلي الشمس علي أطراف الحيطان كأنها الملاحف المعصفرة ، ونظرنا إلي الكواكب يضرب بعضها بعضا

“Isa bin Harith Kandi” says: when they martyred “Hussein bin Ali” [AS], for seven days, whenever we would say “Asr” {evening} prayer we’d see that sunlight hits the walls and it was so red as if walls are covered by red tents and we’d see some stars hitting each other. {encountering each other}.
