Natural disaster from terminally blessings

Nature sometimes takes on adverse forms, which we call natural disasters. Such as cyclones, Kalvaishakhi storms, hailstorms, droughts, tidal waves, heavy rains, floods, droughts, wildfires, cold waves, famines, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

All the control and management of nature is under Allah. All these things happen only by His command. Not even a leaf of a tree moves outside His command and order.

Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran about disasters: 'And We will certainly test you with something of fear and hunger and loss of lives and wealth and fruits. And give good news to the patient. Those who say, in their time of distress, "Surely we belong to Allah and indeed to Him we shall return," - upon them is forgiveness from their Lord and mercy, and it is they who are guided. (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verses 155-157)

What the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to do in times of disaster

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to get scared and walk around anxiously when he saw the wind blowing. He used to be happy when it rained. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that when the sky was cloudy and the wind was blowing, the face of the Prophet (peace be upon him) would look worried. Seeing this situation, he would walk around and recite this supplication:

God bless him and grant him peace مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ
