Fethullah Gulen

Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen has expressed his deep sorrow for devastating effects of Super Storm Sandy and reportedly wrote a blessing and prayer against the storm for his followers before the US East Coast was hit by the monster storm on Monday.

Gülen, who lives in Pennsylvania which was also hit by Sandy hard, wrote a special prayer against the storm and called on his disciples and followers to pray.

The Hurricane Sandy, which was later downgraded to a Super Storm Sandy, churned across Pennsylvania after ravaging New Jersey and lower Manhattan on Monday.

Fethullah Gulen's prayer

His followers posted the prayer written by Gülen against the storm on herkul.org with a note. In the note it says Gülen and those who accompanied him during those days express their thanks to people who described their concerns for health of the Islamic scholar when Sandy swept the US East Coast.

The note also said Gülen wrote prayer against Sandy and told his friends to pray Allah for less damage in the state as officials expected the storm could inflict serious damage to Pennsylvania.
