Mercy, the Stamp of Creation — A Special Portland Program
Join us for a special weekend in Portland, Oregon, as Wasat partners with Bustan to help create third spaces for American Muslims, spaces that nurture spirituality, belonging, and community connection.
Under the guidance of Imam Sharief Yusuf, we will explore “Mercy, the Stamp of Creation” a teaching rooted in the work of Dr. Umar Faruq Abd-Allah that reveals how mercy is the defining quality and purpose of creation itself.
This two-part program invites us to reflect, gather, and build together around the theme of Rahma (Mercy) the foundation of faith, community, and human connection.

About Wasat
Wasat was conceived in 2012 by three American converts to Islam who sought to create a space in Seattle for community members to connect, grow, and learn together. Many dreams and cups of coffee later, Wasat has become a vibrant, beloved community and a trusted resource for those exploring Islam in the Pacific Northwest.
About Bustan
Established in 2025, Bustan is an initiative dedicated to cultivating spaces of sacred belonging, learning, and creativity for Muslims in the Portland metro area.
