Winds And Storms Dream Meaning

Normal blowing of wind without any sign of darkness heralds blessings and barakah as suggested by this verse of the Holy Qur’aan: And it is he (Allah) who sends the winds life heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy. But if such winds resemble storms, typhoon etc. they suggest grief, sorrow and perplexities as is known from the following verse of the Holy Qur’aan : And in the people of Aad there was another sign when we sent against them a wind barren of any good ness.
