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, 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, 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 specifically recited when a strong wind blows, often seen in desert environments. Witnessing such natural phenomena, especially powerful winds or sandstorms, is a moment to remember Allah's might and power. It's a practical way to seek protection from potential harm and ask for the blessings associated with the weather event.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and a sincere heart, recognizing that Allah is the controller of all things. It's best to say it as the wind begins to pick up or when you witness its intensity. Focus on the meaning of seeking good and taking refuge from evil, understanding that even a strong wind, which can seem destructive, is under Allah's command and can carry benefits.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua offers several benefits. Firstly, it's a direct supplication to Allah, seeking protection from the potential dangers of strong winds, such as dust storms or damage. Secondly, by asking for the 'goodness' of the wind and what it carries, we acknowledge that even seemingly harsh natural events can have hidden benefits or be a means of rain and life. It fosters a mindset of reliance on Allah (tawakkul) and a constant remembrance of His power over the natural world, which is a crucial aspect of faith.

It was narrated from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the wind was strong, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would 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.' (O Allah, I ask You for its goodness, 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, the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has been sent with.)
