Explore the American-Muslim experience through art, love and learning.

  • Wasat was conceived in 2012 by three American converts to Islam who wanted to create space for Seattle-area community members to connect, grow, and learn together. Many dreams and cups of coffee later, it is has grown into a vibrant community beloved by many and a resource for those exploring Islam.

  • Wasat is an Arabic word that can mean middle-way, just, and balanced. It’s used in the Quran to describe the community that we are intended to be. It is from this concept that we draw our inspiration.

    “And thus We have made you a wasata (middle way-just/balanced) ummah (community)...” Al-Baqarah 2:143

  • To build a balanced community through:

    • Art & Culture

    • Education & Spirituality

    • Love & Service

a reflection of our community.

Wasat was not just a series of events it is a living, breathing reflection of our community.
We see friendships form, hearts soften, and people feel that they truly belong.

Welcome to Wasat Community

The Wasat Way: A "Third Space” in Seattle where seekers are honored through inclusive adult education, shared social hours, and creative expression rooted in tradition. Many in our community found themselves caught between a world that didn't understand their "why" and traditional spaces that didn't always have room for their deepest questions.

“Wasat feels like home because there I found a deeper meaning to my practice in Islam.” — Maria R

  • "Just wanted to share words of gratitude for the lecture that we had tonight. It really hit home to me and I feel others in this community as well. Some of us are converts without the support of our family and some of us are Muslims branching out of our familiar homes and some of us are both lol We’re all just trying to be responsible and successful adults in this society. We always say inshallah but then when we get positioned in a place of honor we think we’re not worthy of it and AH we are worthy of it because Allah swt put us there period. It was a beautiful reminder and it gave me the courage to have self confidence in myself to excel in all areas of what I do. Jzk for those kind words ♥️"

    — Amaya

  • "It was a very welcoming space and I look forward to attending next week. I feel very fortunate that such a class exists, as it’s extremely beneficial to new Muslims and those looking to reconnect with their faith. It was really nice to be able to ask questions at the end about things we’re dealing with, and with an imam who didn’t give judgmental but from a place of understanding and was extremely knowledgeable."

    — Warite

  • “This was the first Ramadan for me where I really felt like a part of the community. Usually it’s a kind of frustrating month of being hungry and a little lonely about it, and Eid is this day I don’t feel like I can be a part of. This year was the complete opposite.”
