اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ
O Allah, I ask You for its (the wind's) goodness, and the goodness of what is in it, and the goodness of what it has been sent with, and I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has been sent with.
Allahumma inni as'aluka khairaha wa khaira ma fiha wa khaira ma ursilat bihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bihi.
When to Read
This dua is recommended when a strong or unusual wind blows. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to turn to Allah during all circumstances, including weather changes. Reciting this when the wind feels harsh or potentially destructive is a way of seeking Allah's protection and asking for the good it brings.
How to Read
Recite this dua sincerely with the intention of seeking Allah's protection and blessings. It is best to recite it upon feeling the wind or seeing its effects. While the specific wording is taught for a windstorm, the general sentiment of seeking good and refuge from evil applies to any significant weather event. Focus on the meaning and the humility of asking your Creator.
Virtues & Benefits
This supplication embodies the concept of 'Tafwid' – entrusting all matters to Allah. It acknowledges that even seemingly ordinary natural phenomena like wind have a 'good' and an 'evil' aspect, and that only Allah controls both. By reciting this, we affirm our reliance on Him for protection from harm and for receiving the benefits that nature, by His command, can bring. It fosters a sense of peace and acceptance, knowing that Allah is in control, whether the wind is a gentle breeze or a powerful storm.

An-Nawwas ibn Sam'an (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Allah does not punish people for a sign, but He punishes them for the actions of their wrongdoers. When He sends a punishment, it is inescapable. I asked him: 'What is the sign of it?' He said: 'The wind. When you see a wind that is destructive, then say: Allahumma inni as'aluka khairaha wa khaira ma fiha wa khaira ma ursilat bihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bihi.'" (Sahih Muslim 899)
